So. After deleting and rebuilding my `ESP`partition I don't even know how many times and trying out so many different ways of setting up either #rEFind or #GRUB and messing with the `mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset` files, I finally got my original #Arch partition and new #Artix partition booting.
I could not, for the life of me, figure out how to segregate the Arch and Artix boot loaders and initramfs. But since they appear to be the same, both being Arch under the hood...
... I can boot either partition using the same files.
I'm not sure why I couldn't seem to get rEFInd to work. But I finally figured out that running `grub-mkconfig` with os-prober turned on was hosing up my grub config. I turned that off, rebuilt the config so the Arch entries were correct. Then added a custom entry for the Artix partition. And now it works.
Fuck that took way too much time to sort out. There must be a better way.
Tempted to install #Proxmox on my laptop at this point.
I tried that, but it did not work. I'm sure it was something I did wrong. I'll probably need to do a bit more reading and maybe I'll try setting it up that away again to see if I can get it to work.
Also I'd like to migrate to LVM to make messing around with the partitions a little easier.
