From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So for a step by step,
I booted into Mint and opened a terminal and cd to my OS drive.
I checked my grub folder:
mint@mint:/media/mint/a96b3354-70dd-45ed-8c6c-95171e9f1e82/boot/grub$ ls
fonts grub.cfg grub.cfg.broke grubenv locale themes x86_64-efi
made an edit with vi (irrelevant here)
went back to / on my OS drive
mounted the various partitions needed, that's all the mount -o bind commands, dev, proc, dev/pts, sys
then chroot to my OS drive so that I'm working inside my Arch install not the Mint install
then I mount the efi and grub install
[root@mint /]# mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /efi
[root@mint /]# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=efi --bootloader-id=GRUB
