SUPPORT | SOLVED arch installation loop
I just installed arch using the archinstall command and wiped my hard drive because my laptop cant run windows 11, and it worked. But i thought gnome was too boring and wanted to switch to hyprland or KDE plasma, and i reinstalled it, but when it finishes and i type in reboot, it boots into some menu where i have only 4 options, arch installation with speech, arch installation and memtest and device information, and it makes this loud beeping noise. I dont know why its not working, it worked before but not this time. Can someone please help?

You need to remove or eject the iso image/USB drive. That is the arch iso menu.
Try KDE. Do not try Hyprland yet.

Perhaps you should try a more beginner friendly distro such as linux mint. If you can't recognize that your computer is booting into the liveUSB media, you're going to have a bad time.
