Can't boot (Sovled)

I deleted two packages not knowing that they did since there was a confict every time I Syu'ed so I Rdd them both I can't remember what they are called I think its expat and lib32-exapt I wasn't able to even use pacman after I delete them both I couldn't even open app or logout from xfce. So then I rebooted since I couldn't do anything thing and now I'm on a ventoy flash drive with artix iso on it.

How do I reinstall artix without delete my home folder and my software that I have on it.

I can go pass the grub but then its a black screen after that I have tried alt+crl F1 to switch ttys but it didn't do anything.

sorry if this isn't much help

Use pacman --sysroot /path/to/artix from within the ISO to reinstall/upgrade packages inside the broken OS.

Hardly anything on Linux requires nuke + reinstall.

I was able to get my pc running again.
I booted to artix live iso from a usb
Code: [Select]
mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt
artix-chroot /dev/nvme0n1p2 /bin/bash
pacman -Syu
take note of the package then exit
pacman -Syu told me there was a package missing then I download it on the artix-live-iso and copy it over to /mnt/usr/lib/
