Same here, updated my framework laptop, rebooted to blinky screen, turned it off, did some research, loaded up a livecd to revert the kernel and then updated when 5.19.13 made it into arch. Thankfully just a pain in my butt not a dead lcd for me.
I had the same experience. Updated the computer, rebooted into the blinky screen. Powered off the machine & went to the BTRFS snapshot created immediately before my update. No damage to the screen that I'm aware of.
You have to load a livecd to use an older kernel? That is pretty sad. I keep as many kernels as I like. And I can easily run a command to purge all but the running and next kernels.
As another commenter mentioned, fancy pants filesystems that support snapshots simplify this situation.

This is what I used. zfsbootmenu is an EFI executable with support for doing zfs rollbacks (and any other arbitrary zfs command) so as long as my EFI partition is left untouched, I don't need a livecd or another partition or anything.
well, It's my laptop and Iw as playing with endeavouros on it so it didn't have any fallback kernels. choosing grub options isn't really a brains operation for most of us, we stick with defaults.
