Can you, please, elaborate on "learn to use pacman"?
Is paru -Syu not recommended? Should I use pacman -Syu first and then paru?
How do I upgrade AUR packages, otherwise?
I have a similar issue. Same symptoms but different debug findings.
After an upgrade, using paru -Syu, the following reboot resulted in a broken DE where the dock was missing. journalctl reported the following coredump of paleofetch and latte-dock processes.
There were no errors during upgrade. Reverting back to any available snapshot (this is a ~week old install) didn't help. The layout file .config/latte/Dr460nized.layout.latte existed before but I copied /etc/skel/.config/latte/Dr460nized.layout.latte just in case. That didn't help.
The "workaround" is manually executing latte-dock after login. The DE looks and functions normally.
What else uses paleofetch other than ~/.zshrc? Can I safely remove it?
Why is the user login shell configured as zsh but konsole's default shell is fish? Why is the env var SHELL set to zsh if my shell is fish?

fish: $$ is not the pid. In fish, please use $fish_pid.
ps -p $$
