Hello! I’ve been using Garuda Linux for a few months and it was working perfectly fine. Now when I login to my user, I get the KDE loading screen and then the desktop appears, but the latte dock or the start button doesnt work. And the screen is “split in half from the top” because its allowing me to use only use the middle part of the desktop.
But if I login to the guest user and then logout and login to the main user, everything works fine. Please help. I also tried booting into the LTS kernel(2nd kernel in my system) and the same glitch happens.
