[SOLVED] Arch with timeshift after it got stuck booting after a reboot

After rebooting my pc it got stuck at booting, I'm using btrfs with subvolumes for home, opt, tmp, .snapshots (which I don't use) and var. And this is everything that happened:

So I just rebooted my pc and it got stuck with the message `Staring version 251.2-1-arch`, but I could switch to other TTYs, login on them and the filesystem seemed normal. So I just created a snapshot with timeshift and restored one of 5 days ago, I just got an error saying `E: Unable to remove directory` at the end but I ignored it.

Then I rebooted and after the message of `Starting version...` I got two errors, one saying that it failed to start kernel modules and other saying that failed to mount `/boot` so I just changed `/boot` mount options from `/etc/fstab` file to `defaults` but just threw me into recovery mode, I also removed the option `subvolid` in all subvolumes in fstab (because it caused problems with the `/home` subvolume before) and even tried commenting the line that mounts `/boot` which leaves me with `Failed to start kernel modules` but I can switch to other TTYs an all filesystem seems normal.

After all I just restored to the snapshot created by default before restoring (it has the `/boot` line commented in `/etc/fstab`, and it got errors sayng something about failed to mount `/dev/nvme0n1p1` (the `/boot` partition) in `/run/timeshift/.../boot`) but continued anyway and after rebooting I got an error with `Failed to start kernel modules` again but the system tried to start a graphical interface in TTY-7 and I was able to switch to TTYs.

The only things I did on that session were:
* Install `librewolf` with pacaur, but didn't even finished because some package validation failed.
* Clone the `virtual-display-linux` into `/opt/virtual-display-linux` and tried running it, it said me to reboot.
* Download the AppImage of `deskreen` to `/opt/deskreen/Deskreen.AppImage` and used it.

Can someone tell me how to restore any snapshot that works??

I solved it with [help from reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm … _after_it/)
