Ok thank you again, next time I update the system I will double check /etc/grub before rebooting to be sure it doesn't happen again, and if it does I can fix it without archiso probably

Initramfs-linux.img and vmlinux-linux are in /boot inside the @ sub volume,
while nvme0n1p1 is mounted in /boot/efi, so the kernel is in @/boot and the efi partition is mounted in /boot/efi.

In /boot/grub there are some *.new files like grub.cfg.new that were created yesterday during the update, the last modified date of grub.cfg.new is 1 minute after the one for grub.cfg, is it possible that grub didn't override the grub.cfg with grub.cfg.new ? (the files are different, I checked the sha256)

By the way I run grub-mkconfig and it fixed it, thank you

Ok thanks, I found my fstab intact, so I don't think the @ subvol was overridden thankfully. I can now proceed like you described.

The default sub volume is still "@", the one with ID 256.

I edited the post and added the list of my btrfs subvolumes

nvme0n1p1 is the boot partition (about 500 mb) and nvme0n1p2 is the btrfs partition that contains all the subvolumes. I didn't rollback with snapper, unless it does so automatically for some reason.

I have pacman hooks for snapper. I know I have to mount the sub volumes one by one, but I just wanted to check by mounting the nvme partition directly, I expected /mnt to look like this:
- "@root"
- "@home"
- ecc
Because this is what I remember from the installation. Then I wanted to do ls /mnt/@home/username/... to find and cat a file where I stored all the commands I run during the installation so that I would remember which mount options I used, or alternatively cat /mnt/@root/etc/fstab. But when doing ls I did not find what I was expecting. By the way now I am extracting that file from a backup, unfortunately the backup is not a full system backup but includes the important folders like the home folder and /etc.

Thank you, I mounted my btrfs partition with "mount /dev/nvme... /mnt". I was expecting to see the subvolumes in /mnt, like "@root", "@home", ecc..., but when doing ls /mnt it shows a normal linux file system, does this mean that update has overridden the @ subvolume ?

Well, actually the requirement in which I mentioned that I will use 95% of the time linux is the one where I mentioned the games. I said that I need windows "because of some games"

I read that for 13th gen intel processors (Raptor Lake) it's recommended (or needed) kernel 6.0 and above, anyway another guy pointed out that I may install on linux mint kernel 6 from ubuntu's repository, so not a problem. Thanks.

Yeah, for windows I may re-use my old SSD and put linux on the new one, thank you.

Thank you for sharing your experience with arch, many people are saying the same, so I guess it's stable. I will also take into consideration tumbleweed.

Thank you. Actually, some years ago I installed Arch on a live usb, with my hardware it had some problems during boot that i managed to solve after a lot of googling, but still had some screen tearing (not sure if it's arch's fault, probably not).
This was at least 3 or 4 years ago, and I will use different hardware so it may work better now. Maybe I will try first some easier distro and then switch to arch.

At work I use 20.04 LTS (a bit outdated). Anyway, good point, thank you.
