ArchLinux doesn't boot past the bootloader (lemmy.ca)

I'm able to get to the BIOS on my desktop. But when greeted by the boot loader to choose between Arch or Arch fallback, after choosing, I lose display.

Sometimes I can get display, but its not consistent. Draining my computers power by unplugging the power cord and holding the power button works sometimes. Sometimes a simple reboot will work.

I have an Asus b550m-plus motherboard. It was working great with Arch until recently.

Edit: it uses by press e at the boot loader then putting nomodeset at the end, but the display is choppy compared to when its able to boot without it.

Edit: Installing linux-lts and directing my bootloader to it worked. I didn't even need to install linux.

I'm also having problems with the flatpak Discover center where I can't install nor update packages. I might reformat my operating system like I sadly have to do a few times a year to fix bugs (Whether Arch, Ubuntu, or any Linux).

However my operating system is encrypted with LUKS. And I have other drives connected via raid mirroring, and I don't want to lose access to anything saved.
