I have been having this bug for about 2 months, tried to worked on it multiple times and i never succeeded to resolve the issue, this is my last step before erasing and reinstalling a new Garuda. I tried to create a new user and it did not change anything.
I posted my issue in KDE FB group and no success. I do my udates daily and been working on an Arch based os since the past 5 years, Garuda for the past year.
When i login, it fails sometimes 2 or 3 times in a row, then i get into my desktop. Sometimes i have to reboot. Sometimes i get into the desktop and then a minute later it crashes and comes back to the login screen. Same login issue for the other user account.
Here is my garuda-inxi:
