When I installed Arch, following the installation guide, I picked Linux x86-64 root (/) as the root's partition type. I use the rEFInd boot loader, and I have a problem where, when I boot, I see the general Linux logo instead of the Arch logo. Searching in the wiki, I found that it happens because I use Linux x86-64 root (/) as the root's partition type instead of Linux filesystem: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/REFInd … ution_logo.
Before changing my root's partition type, I'd like to understand the difference between the two types and whether I should use Linux x86-64 root (/) or Linux filesystem. From what I searched online, I found answers like "it doesn't really matter" or "Linux x86-64 root (/) is slightly more correct", but I couldn't understand the difference between the two types and which one should be used.
Can someone explain the difference between the two types and which one should be used?

Personally I have never used anything else than "Linux Filesystem" on my root. I also did a little bit of searching, and from what I can gather it seems to be used by systemd-gpt-auto-generator to automatically mount partitions based on partition type. I don't know for sure, but I doubt it matters for anything else. So unless you rely on systemd automounting partitions then you should be fine.
As for rEFInd and what logo it shows, I can't offer any help as I've never used that bootloader. If the logo matters to you, then maybe the wiki page, or the official documentation can tell you how to customize it.
