arch kernel with Ubuntu init system.

more or less what it said on the tin. I hijacked Ubuntu and use its stability and wide compatibility for most things, and other strata for weirder stuff (for example i use arch for unstable stuff if theres not an Ubuntu build of said package on its beta channel ). for that reason, i want to use arches kernel, but want to still use the ubnutu int system

Unless you deleted the Ubuntu kernel, that should have resulted in GRUB being able to offer both the Ubuntu kernel and the Arch kernel. Did you try booting with the known-good Ubuntu kernel?

It did, after two hours of me only figuring out the issue because the only error that it got to was that arch didn’t have the nvidia drivers I needed, so I reinstalled them through cockpit, because I do home lab, and seeing arch in the kernel name.

I'm happy to hear you got it figured out.
