@mfrazzz have you refreshed your mirrors? You can refresh them without performing a full upgrade or any package at all.
This will gain you access to all current packages and may help update to the proper packages that would get you out of the git nightmare.

Well 
, no good. Still the same issue. No errors now on the login page, but after logging in, its just the background (with the new dragon image. caught me off guard, :lol:) the pointer, and nothing else. Right clicking, single click, alt-space, f12, etc all do nothing. Snapped back to where I got rid of latte and have the plasma dock running. Not sure what else to even attempt at this point.
So that I could upgrade, I modified /etc/pacman.conf and uncommented the lgnorePkg and IgnoreGrp lines and put plasma-desktop and plasma in them respectively. I then did a pacman -Syu and was able to successfully upgrade by not upgrading plasma. So far this seems to have worked until I can figure out how to upgrade to Plasma 5.27 and have a usable desktop.
I normally do the "update" command to upgrade packages, but I didn't know if this commands resets the pacman.conf file so just did a direct pacman command this time.
[UPDATE] Spoke too soon. I just tried to reboot and it didn't work. So even with not upgrading Plasma, I get the same behavior. Ugh.
Ok guys, new update. I decided to do a reinstall. Fresh copy of Garuda Dr460nized. I wonāt go into install frustrations here (will be a new topic(s)) but finally got an install done. I will note Iām doing manual partition this time with EFI (fat32), /boot, Swap, root, and home.
After install, am greater with login, then asked to provide my password for my Wi-Fi I used during install (nice touch). Dock (latte) and top panel are there and a welcome to Garuda (setup assistant). All is right with the world at this point.
The settings assistance runs and begins the process of updating 774 packages. After this completes, no other optional packages are chosen from the various tabs (I want a clean install). Iām greeted with Success! And the assistant exits back to the Welcome app. So at this point, I rebootā¦.
Reboot appears clean. Login screen, then after logging in I have the Garuda Welcome app, the background and nothing else (no dock, no top panel ). Unlike my original issue, right clicking on the desktop brings up a menu and alt space lets me get to the search, but otherwise, unusable. Konsole will start (never gets to a Prim prompt) but Firedragon will not.
[UPDATE] while typing that the panel and dock just popped up. Dock shows Firedragon is running (itās not). I closed it from the dock and tried starting it again an it doesnāt start. System monitor came
Interesting, I did a fresh install 2 days ago following same steps (except defaults everything on the partitions) and I had no issue.
If you got no dock and panel, first thing to do is go in Global Theme and apply Dr460nized.
This should start you up with everything in terms of Theming.
From there we can see if Firedragon and more don't work, in a different topic, but since this topic was about getting rid of KDE git and booting/logging in properly, you are still missing the logging which seems... imperfect to say the least.

Ok plz reboot and see if you get stable Theming.
Then weāll fork off the topic for Firedragon issue. 
Rebooted and have welcome and nothing else. Right click and alt space on desktop do nothing. Iām going to let it sit for 5 mins to see if it wakes up
That is definately not normal.
You never had such glitches before the SDDM blue screen logging happened the other day?
Do you remember seeing any errors or even warnings during the 774 packages update?

Any sign of errors in journalctl --user -xe ?

Only error I saw was during the kernel dkms where it was setting up the Wi-Fi. Gave multiple errors about crypto.so (or something like that) not found. Everything else looked clean as it whizzed by.
Panel just popped and dock. No longer latte. Right click and alt space work. Firedragon still not starting. Monitor starts but nothing in the graphs. Wi-Fi is not working and net manager doesnāt show any hardware or drivers.
How can I check this when konsole doesnāt give a prompt?
Work Alt + Tab konsole Enter ?
Konsole never gives a prompt to type.
Switch to another tty via Ctrl + Alt + F4, login and type the command

Never could get a tty to respond. Gave up. Fresh installed Garurda LXQt. Same thing. Unresponsive after updates are done in a clean install. Gave up, installed Mate since itās not Qt/KDE based. Same thing. Mate was unresponsive after latest updates are done. Since I had things I needed to get done I moved to CachyOS and did all updates. No problems and was able to get stuff done in my laptop. Iād much prefer to be on Garuda (Iāve been using it for 2 years with no issue until now). I just donāt get what is happening. Ill probably set up an external drive I can boot off of if you guys want to continue to try to debug this. With Mate having issues it makes me feel like itās an issue around my hardware and some incompatibility.

OMG what a nightmare your issues!
I started to think the same thing but CachyOS is working.
Maybe related to one of the Performance tweaks from Garuda? Which means disabling them all could be a start, assuming it doesnāt freeze still.

FWIW, I'm having the exact same issue as the OP on two boxes both running GarudaLinux KDE-git -- would reinstalling the plain vanilla GarudaLinux KDE non-git solve this for me?
same as the OP, my temporary solution was to roll back to a working snapshot and not do any more rolling updates till there was a fix..
my issue started weeks ago and shows the same error message on the login screen, except in my case it's the Breeze theme throwing that error message.
