~~I have yet to update to OS X 10.13.13 ~~
This guide is more of a compilation of the tonymacsx86 OS X install combined with GloriousEggroll’s 2017 Arch install, and how to make them work together.

Setting up Clover
Make two backups of EFI and .plist (EFI> Clover)
· Put one in documents, and one on your USB (which should not be plugged in when editing)
Files stored on my clover USB
· EFI Backups
o Original EFI folder
o Original .plist
o A copy of your “completed” .plist
· Multibeast
o Multibeast Configuration PDF
· Clover Configurator
· DSDT
· Wifi Driver
· Nvidia Driver
When editing the .plist, open it from your mounted EFI>Clover folder (Do not just open Clover, and save the file there)
Hiding Unwanted Drives
· Clover Configurator
· GUI > Uncheck Legacy, in the hide box add: Recover, Preboot, whatever you named your Windows drive, any other storage drives
To make Arch visible in Clover Boot Menu
In Clover Configuator under GUI check the scan Linux box.
Edit you .plist (Again, make sure you have a BACKUP, with a copy another copy that is not on editable. Learn from my mistakes, do not accidently edit your backup..)

Note:
I used the linux-lits kernel.
If you make “root=/dev/nvme0n1p5” you cannot remove your drive. Alternatively you could do: “root=PATHUUID= -your UUID here –“ but I get an error during boot with this method. Fortunately, nvme boot drives don’t usually need to be removed
Make a backup of the new .plst and store it where the original .plist files are (put on “O’”on the original playlist so it doesn’t get written over, if you ever need to use it remove the O)
In Arch:
Copy your vmlinuz file in a location that Clover can see. This will preserve F8 in BIOS
“sudo cp /boot/vmlinuz /”
