Mate and cinnamon are community editions, IIRC @Naman :slight_smile:
Barebones also not community, so just a typo?

No, start with the default apps and see how it goes.
Then update with the update command from terminal and then reboot

I'm wondering if it's the GPU and driver combo. That's a Keplar GPU (GTX 600 series), if the system's updating the nvidia 470 driver to 495, that's gonna conflict AFAIK.
If system works before update, add nvidia driver to pacman ignore list.

Nvidia is just a pain in the ass with Linux. Though it's flawless with proprietary software :rofl:

While you're there, is Cinnamon meant to be 404'ing?

Have you tried installing the LTS kernel?:

  1. Run Garuda Settings Manager.
  2. Click on Kernel.
  3. Scroll down until you see linux-lts.
  4. Click install (next to linux-lts).
  5. Follow the instructions.
  6. Wait a little until it says Installed.
  7. Reboot.
  8. On the computer starting menu (grub menu), choose Garuda Advanced Options.
  9. Choose the LTS Kernel.

If it works with the LTS Kernel, you will have to do 8 and 9 every time you reboot, unless you do this: https://forum.garudalinux.org/t/how-do-i-change-the-default-grub-settings-and-splash-screen/14003/2
