How to EFI and two installation on one disc

Hello
I have one standard uefi installation Archlinux on my disc.

My partitions:
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1    0     2G  0 part /boot (fat32 partition)
├─nvme0n1p2 259:2    0    50G  0 part /
├─nvme0n1p5 259:5    0   1,7T  0 part /home

Grub install on
/boot/EFI/GRUB/grubx64.efi

My question is: how to install a second Archlinux system on the same disk using the archinstall installer?"
How to setup mountpoints and grub or any bootmanager?

Simplest answer, don't use archinstall, then it's not too difficult. With archinstall, you should probably have this moved to that section, as it's totally different.

Re: How to EFI and two installation on one disc

You're absolutely right. I managed to install the second system next to the old one, but that was the first and last time I used archinstaller.
1. Wayland + NVIDIA + Hyprland = crash system
2. Wayland + NVIDIA + Plasma6 = working but not properly
3. Wayland + NVIDIA + i3 = working well

Ultimately, I returned to the old system Xorg + NVIDIA + Plasma6
