I never understood these. Arch has always been rock solid for me and in 10 years or so I have never had to chroot to fix an issue. The most annoying issues have been related to PGP signatures or old certificates but those have been easily fixed.

What is it you people do to your arch installs that fucks them up so much?

Nvidia driver (not me, I'm poor)
dubious/niche AUR packages
Wrong settings on BIOS/UEFI
Windows Update on dual-boot setup (sometimes)

I don't know why, but my archlinux bootloader always disappear if I connet bootable disk when my computer is booting, lol...

It's possible your uefi has a thing about default EFI boot names. I ended up changing mine to just boot because if I update the bios it clears everything and doesn't automatically pick up any EFI except boot.
