Just wanted to say this worked for me on a completely fresh install with no desktop.

In a TTY terminal run:

sudo pacman -S plasma-x11-session

Once you have plasma-x11-session installed you can try to login with an X11 session rather than Wayland.

Yep, that’s why your login screen crashed:

We generally take Linux newbies into consideration, but this forum is not intended to teach basic Linux knowledge, but rather to assist with issues. But the problem is not that you are a newbie, but that your feedback is miserable. We can’t look over your shoulder to see what’s happening on your system. Without a helpful error description, without logs, and without meaningful feedback, we are effectively blind. Please remember this for next time.
