In August 2022 there was a major GRUB bug that caused many systems failing to boot. At that time I was not in a home setting so chroot from a USB literally saved me.
Another case was using ibt=off in /etc/default/grub that turns off the Indirect Branch Tracking security feature, after a bug affected Nvidia drivers.
archinstall is now the easiest way to install Arch linux using a python guided script with ability to automatically partition a disk with BTRFS and auto-create subvolumes.
