[SOLVED] TKG kernel, cant write in ESP/loader/loader.conf

Hello!  Im new user on Arch,
I have just install TKG Kernel, but i cant write in "ESP/loader/loader.conf".. for choose this kernel, same with root access
I have systemd-boot.

Maybe esp partition mounted read only? I don't know

In boot>loader>entries, i can see only Linux-zen, it is normal?  But in /boot i can see "linux69-tkg"

Thanks for help

You have to tell us more than "I can't write...". Actual commands? Errors? Give us something.

Commands "kate ESP/loader/loader.conf" when i try save : i cant save not possible to write in /home/user/esp/loader/loader.conf .... ho its maybe that? esp is not in home right?

I have try with sudo :

You missed the part where esp in italics like that is meant to be substituted with the mount point of your ESP.

Ok its boot/loader/loader.conf i thinks?

But now i am lost, i cant see how i can add TKG-kernel in boot kernel choice?  In entries folder i have only "linux-zen"

I have follow that for install kernel : https://github.com/Frogging-Family/linux-tkg
"
git clone https://github.com/Frogging-Family/linux-tkg.git
cd linux-tkg
# Optional: edit the "customization.cfg" file
makepkg -si
"

But after i  don't understand how to choose this kernel and have it in entries folder

You add it the same way you added linux-zen. Read the systemd-boot wiki page if you don't remember.

So you took a shortcut keeping yourself ignorant of how your system is set up. Well time to do some reading, then.
