issue installing arch

hi so im currently using mint and ive decided to switch to arch - unfortunately ive downloaded an iso for it put it on my usb key (which i used to switch from windows to mint originally) with balenaetcher and i reboot my computer and it just opens linux mint! i dont know if its a bug or a bad iso image (even if i did validate it) or just me being stupid but its not working.

i did, but the only option was linux mint for some reason. i mean my usb is almost broken at this point - keeps disconnecting for no reason, gets stuck on an incline... so it might just be that and i need a new usb.

Sounds like it. You can't boot from it if the option isn't there.
