Notes From Repo: https://github.com/dillacorn/arch-i3-dots

install linux-tkg

note: takes a while to build/compile and install

so in other words go do something else while it works its magic

git clone https://github.com/Frogging-Family/linux-tkg.git
cd linux-tkg
makepkg -si

if systemd-boot

list installed kernals

ls /boot/vmlinuz*

cd to systemd-boot kernal boot entries

cd /boot/loader/entries
ls

copy current <date>_<time>_linux.conf in folder

sudo cp <date>_<time>_linux.conf linux-tkg-bore-<version_#>.conf

sudo micro linux-tkg-bore-<version_#>.conf

will look something like this

# Created by: archinstall
# Created on: 2024-10-24_16-00-57
title   Arch Linux (linux)
linux   /vmlinuz-linux
initrd  /initramfs-linux.img
options root=PARTUUID=6c524b73-40d8-454e-9fac-6952dc4f4ade zswap.enabled=0 rootflags=subvol=@ rw rootfstype=btrfs

edit the .conf (remove Created lines)

title   Arch Linux TKG <version_#>
linux   /vmlinuz-linux<version_#>-tkg-bore
initrd  /initramfs-linux<version_#>-tkg-bore.img
options root=PARTUUID=6c524b73-40d8-454e-9fac-6952dc4f4ade zswap.enabled=0 rootflags=subvol=@ rw rootfstype=btrfs

save and close

generate initramfs

sudo mkinitcpio -P

update bootloader

sudo bootctl update

reboot

"Arch Linux TKG <version_#>" should be in the list to choose now.

additionally you can make systemd-boot choose last chosen kernal by adding these lines to loader.conf

micro /boot/loader/loader.conf

my loader.conf with default default added

default @saved
timeout 3
#console-mode keep

generate initramfs

sudo mkinitcpio -P

update bootloader

sudo bootctl update

now last chosen kernal will be the next to be shosen automatically
