Hi guys,
I have a very annoying problem with my Garuda installation. Every first time I start garuda it suddenly freezes on the loading start screen. Grub and co is working fine but when it loads the desktop it just freezes and wont unfreeze. The weird thing is when I then proceed to reboot my laptop forcefully via the power button that the bug wont appear. I dont know why my Garuda keeps freezing at the first start up. Shutting the device normally down doesnt have any problems so I dont know what to do. Can someone please help me?
Oh btw while its updating I came across these errors. Are they critical?

Welp the update made evrything just worse. Now I cant enter my normal enviroment anymore. Im curreny using a 2 month old back up from time shift to access my laptop. Only thing left is now to restore this time shift to current. And I have absoulutly no idea how to do it.
Update: I managed to restore this back up thus fixing the errors. When I have time I will reinstall Garuda completely but for now I will try updating as less as possible.
wait, that’s actually worse. this is a rolling release and the best practice, as much as it may seem weird at first, is to update very often – as soon as there are updates available unless you are busy doing something and don’t want to take chances or distract yourself at the moment.
worse case, there are snapshots to revert a botched update.
Means I will get in the near future the latest packages currently available. I think that something in my current configuration is messing these things up. So a fresh install should do the trick.
NP like you had a point with your comment and it is important to keep this info up that arch is a rolling release. Just sometimes it can get messy and a fresh install is all its gonna need.
