Just in case anyone else comes across this; after a fresh install on booting up past grub I had this message 'garuda gnome stuck at starting version 246.3-1-arch' I resolved it by hitting F2 updating then installing GDM instead of GDM-prime.
Everything is working ace now, thanks for an excellent distribution.
