Timeshift backup not working-Remount root and kernel file system.
I corrupted my arch install so I tried to boot into live usb and reinstall vanilla arch, then I installed timeshift and restored the backup I made earlier.
On rebooting, my OS doesn't boot and shows the error, [Failed] Remount root and Kernel File System.
How do I fix this please?

Did you make sure the fstab matches the new mountpoint?
When you recovered your timeshift it made everything exactly as it was before, that includes the fstab. It only recovers the files though, not the filesystem itself. If the UUID / lvm volume name is different then the old /etc/fstab can't match it. Once you confirm fstab contents redo grub to be sure.

I tried but it wont let me edit the file only even when I do sudo it doesn't save and says I don't have perms...
