@PolyWolf oh, Arch was just the boot stick, ok :D Yeah, Debian was exactly what I was thinking of - if it's updating during a reboot and you don't have the graphical splash screen disabled, it only shows a small text label telling you that it's updating, and that's easy to miss (especially on a somewhat high DPI screen).
But it's not a very likely explanation, yeah

@PolyWolf (Arch doesn't do deferred updates during reboots, right? There's no chance that you might have powered it off right in the middle of grub-install or something and that could have messed things up?)

@PolyWolf yeowch, that's an odd one. After seeing your first post, I was idly wondering if the firmware could poop itself in a way that it spontaneously forgets your boot entries, and I guess the answer is yes? Or maybe the EEPROM/flash chip for the UEFI variables is failing? Either way, not a cool situation
