Coming from Manjaro, I had Manjaro in dual boot with Windows for a few years now. I have now also installed Arch Linux. During the Arch installation, I skipped the part with the boot partition and the bootloader. I have been using the bootloader/grub from Manjaro. That works quite well.

But now I want to switch to a bootloader from Arch. With the Arch bootloader I would like to continue to have the choice between Arch, Manjaro and Windows.

I assume that I have to install a corresponding bootloader for Arch in the EFI parallel to the others. But how should I proceed in detail? I have not yet been able to find any corresponding howtos. Which bootloader would you recommend?

    Many thx. Worked fine.

    If I install a new kernel, I have to recreate the entries with grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg. But do I have to do that also for kernel updates?

    I don’t think so, because the filename should not change, if I’m right?

      Uuuuhh, I don’t know. I never did that manually, it seems to auto-update after upgrades.

      To be honest I haven’t thought of it. I only know it is recommended to re-install GRUB with GRUB updates. But simply pacman -Syu has so far always left me with a bootable system.

      Edit: Didn’t find anything in pacman hooks.
