Have you moved to a new environment?

Code: [Select]
artix-chroot /mnt /bin/bash

If that doesn't work, you can try another editor (like micro). You can also try exiting the chroot and editing files directly in /mnt by doing this

Code: [Select]
exit #if you didn't leave the chroot
pacman -S vim
vim /mnt/etc/locale.gen

But im on a live iso, why do i need to get into there? am i not already there? or is that because on the vm im theoretically on a usb stick and by chrooting im then on the atual harddrive? the imaginary one? And yes im in, thank you very much!
(new to linux sry, also where can you learn linux in depth? I mean, learn deeply how adn why everything functions. was trying to install gentoo yesterday it was a bit too hard D:)

also, when im done with editing this should I go back to the virtual usb stick-iso or stay at the local virtual harddrive?

Everything worked out? Yes, when you are completely done with setting up a new system, you must exit the chroot.

I don't know how best to learn linux...

I just came into an error when typing
grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/vda
Im doing it like this because for some reason my vm is legacy and not uefi, and it gave me the following output
