How do you have kernel 6.9? When was the last time you updated prior to a few days ago when this issue started happening?
ah, it’s probably systemd-boot in that case. I never knew there was a difference
I ran this command from the liveUSB while in chroot, the USB hasn’t been updated in a long time
edit: I use yay -Syu frequently, does that not update the kernel?
Oh yeah… That makes sense. You were supposed to run it in chroot. Sorry, I didn’t specify.
Yes, it does.
I did run it in chroot
Hmm. Well, I did say “I think”. I wasn’t sure if it would work. 
If it’s systemd-boot then it’s a different process for the bootloader. If the system is booting properly there is no need.
I’m glad you think, it’s not really my specialty rn

The system boots fine into my main kernel, but not into the LTS kernel I was told to install.
You’ll need to run a script in chroot: reinstall-kernels

Well it should. In any case you can try sudo reinstall-kernels
Edit: In chroot you don’t need sudo. 
But did you actually get it installed?
I assume so, I installed linux-lts and linux-lts-headers

I’m not following you?
Edit: Did the command work as i had edited the post since you were in chroot you didn’t need sudo but I assume it still worked.
After you’ve done this, if you got no errors, reboot and select the LTS kernel.

It still worked, I’ll run it again without sudo to make sure
edit: it appears I’m on 6.12
I just rebooted into the LTS kernel, and nothing changed. I still just have a mouse cursor.
Try CTRL+ALT+F2 again, or F3/F4/F5/F6/F7
oh, ctrl f3 worked! What next?
