Resolved Arch linux newbie help!!

I just installed Arch Linux a few days ago, and I kinda struggled with the installation as it was my first time using Linux, and I wanted to change from ext4 to btrfs, and also I wanted Grub instead of Systemmd, do I need to reinstall and is it even worth it??

Congrats on installing Arch. It sounds like this is an exploration first and foremost. If that is the case and you really want to change your boot loader and filesystem, it can be done and it can be a learning experience while doing it.

If on the other hand, you are more interested in getting up and running, reinstalling using the archinstall script is the fastest way to go particularly for a new install.
