Maybe somebody can help me out. I have looked around but have not found a solution to my issue.
Recently I have been unable to login with Wayland. I can get to the login screen but if I choose Wayland, I get a black screen with no cursor (as if I have no display output) and I have to hard reset.
This also happened when I was running CachyOS, but I decided to come back to Garuda because it was my first Linux distro and I love what the developers are doing with it.
X11 has been working fine until just now, I get the same black screen. It seems to be random. Sometimes when I boot up there is no login screen, other times there is. Sometimes I can login with X11 after a few reboots or going through recovery modes.
The newest programs are Steam and Sunshine, which have not given me issues in the past. I had to revert to a snapshot from earlier today so I could at least login and provide the inxi below. Let me know if there is any other detail I missed that would help solve this issue.
