I'm using Endeavor OS. My computer lost power during system update. Now I can boot into it.

Thanks. I tried this, was able to get into my system. After playing around with WPA_supplicant and IP link, I was able to get internet and run the updates with pacman.

But I'm getting a similar problem as I was having at some point before, where I boot into a black screen, I can change the terminal with CTL + Alt + F1, then my login screen shows up, put my password, and the login freezes.

When I booted into my system earlier to do the updates, I used init=/bin/bash, but SystemD didn't auto start then, hence why I used WPA_supplicant. Perhaps SystemD is still not starting, hence why I'm not able to log in or open other terminal window.
