hello blinux. disclaimer: since I am a TalkingArch <https://talkingarch.info> maintainer my opinion may be biased. > Sorry but Archlinux is not something to use for someone blind using Linux, I disagree with that. Arch is perhaps more complicated than other distributions, but with due diligence, it gives much more functionality. also from accessibility points of view: the latest versions of packages and the minimum number of downstream patches are of great benefit. > I just ran a kernel update a few minutes ago on archlinux and tried > rebooting.I can assure you that this is an isolated problem on your side. I have several machines and a server on the arch. and I didn’t have such problems. to help I need to know: which bootloader you are using and preferably its configs.
