Was installing Arch linux in dual boot with Windows and I fucked up.
Now I can't boot back into Windows. I tried to restore the boot 'thing' and I wasn't able to.
So tomorrow I will have to reinstall every single program I had since Microsoft doesn't make installed softawared recoverable.
P.S. This is the 4th time I try to install Arch without success (had problems with the bootloader, kde and gpu drivers and ended up bricking the os) but I'm still going to try until I get it to work. Why? Because I hate my life.

    I think there are tools out there to fix windows bootloader without reinstalling everything. You can make a bootable USB drive for the bootloader fix tool.

    Try systemd-boot instead of grub. Way less complex and does the job great.

    @sSam you are tempting me... I'll try once I get home. Please don't make me reinstall every fucking windows program again

    Ok, I installed Arch with systemd-boot and it works great. Only one problem... I can't install the GUI. Somehow I fucked up. Xinit gives a black screen, startkde gives a black screen, sddm gives a black screen. I think I'm going to switch to Debian for now and get some more experience :(.

    @AchilleMe maybe try gdm, it sometimes solves some configuration problems.
    Just install gdm and enable gdm service.
