This looks interesting, and I am tempted to walk into the deep water. It
raises some questions.
Will gummiboot or refind also find the Ubuntu partition?
The original partition structure of the machine there were four or five
partitions, and another one popped up in the higher end of the disk.

You should use the ESP (EFI system partition) to store all of the
kernels. The loader
Ubuntu's kernel is on the / partition. Would I move it to the ESP
partition, in that case?
And I will mount that partition on /mnt/boot ?
I have never used gummiboot. Since the Arch system is already to go, but
not yet with a boot management setup, I should manually move that kernel to
the ESP

I see another level of complexity here, in a statement on a page about
Gummiboot on the wiki:
* Warning: *Gummiboot simply provides a boot menu for EFISTUB kernels. In
case you have issues booting EFISTUB kernels like in
FS#33745https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33745,
you should use a boot loader
After already chrooting, during the Arch installation process, I saw some
information that suggested to use a command, as follows:
mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
It was ineffective, so after noticing a note that it should be done inside
and outside of the chroot

The kernel's EFISTUB booting support is broken on some hardware,
possibly due to buggy firmware requiring workarounds or perhaps because
of remaining bugs in the kernel. It does work on most hardware though,

I wonder what Ubuntu is doing, then. Whether it will be incompatible.

I took a chance, and nothing happened. I installed gummiboot on /boot,
where the kernel was. But I didn't move the ubuntu kernel over.
In the end, Windows still booted, and I was able to get back to a boot menu
from there, and boot ubuntu. Not Arch. Yet.
Thank you for now.

FOr me, the simpler the better. I'll try to deal with it, though.
