Now I am in the end of installing linux. I have reached to step 3.21 of installation guide: 3.21 Boot loader
Choose and install a Linux-capable boot loader <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Boot_loader>. If you have an Intel or AMD CPU, enable microcode <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Microcode> updates in addition.
What it means? What I should choose and install? And how to enable microcode updates in addition?

Now I use cfdisk and I saw type of sda: Linux swap, linux root x86-64 and Linux file system. And I wanna know the difference between linux root x86-64 and Linux file system. Now I think to leave just Linux swap and Linux root x86-64.
Hi,
please reply to the mailing list.
This is again quasi the same I already wrote before: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/partitioning#UEFI/GPT_layout_example
You need a "/boot or /efi" partition. You should use a "Linux swap" and you need a "Linux x86-64 root (/)". This root directory can use different file systems, such as ext4, but maybe you want a copy on write file system.

I'm sorry, but I don't know how to use cfdisk. If you don't want to use command line, I recommend to use a live media providing GParted.
This isn't what I'm using: https://gparted.org/liveusb.php
I'm using an USB stick with https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html . If I need GParted on a live media, I just run e.g. a persistent Xubuntu or any other ISO copied to the Ventoy USB stick.
