Bricked after failed update, is there any way to recover from this?

I followed the instructions here.

More specifically-

B: [Grub]

  • Press e when the grub-boot menu appears.
  • Use the arrow keys to find the line that looks like this:
    linux /vmlinuz=linux root=UUID=...... rw quiet resume=.... (… = long snake of numbers)
  • put systemd.unit=multi-user.target right after rw like this:
    rw systemd.unit=multi-user.target resume=....
  • I recommend removing quiet to get more informational output on boot (leave the rest untouched!!!)
  • Press Ctrl+X to boot with this parameter.
  • give root password there (in case you are wired connected) install nvidia drivers:
  • pacman -S nvidia-open nvidia-utils
    (on latest cards only see here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA)
    a bit older (still not legacy) GPUs:
    pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils
    after the reboot you should be fine.
