My Linux mint pc just crashed because I was moving a lot of files from the home folder to the root directory. I got error that the drive is getting full. After clicking show error my pc rebooted and there was an error something like "can't create user journal no space left" I've been running mint for 4 years now. But arch for 2 years on my laptop (hyprland) and main pc (kde). So for this pc I thought why not also arch. Put the install drive in and booted and got this fancy screen. I've never seen this screen so nice. Why is that, I always just saw the text.
Idk exactly why this is the case, but it's telling you that you're not booting with UEFI; that one is just a black screen. Maybe it's just an old thing from Arch's earlier days?
You can have GRUB menu on boot with UEFI.
Only shows black screen if you disable the boot menu, some distros hide the menu by default, even with BIOS.

But that one clearly shows BIOS
That sounds possible, I'm using an old lenovo workstation. With a fresh boot usb.
To bad uefi doesn't show graphics like this.
Last time I installed Arch it used systemd-boot which only shows text. If you use grub in UEFI mode you can get those graphics too.
