Greetings,
I have encountered a problem, suddenly my desktop stopped loading, I left my Pc for around 2 hours and when I came back , exited lock screen, and nothing, just a black screen.
I tried restart, I tried restarting sddm, I tried reinstalling plasma, changed between X-11 and wayland, manually starting X-11 and Wayland, changed wallpaper (i use wallpaper engine, changed it to solid color), and finally full system update, checked the help forums, youtube, and even A.I models for help, and nothing is working !!!
that is the strangest problem I faced
Edit: one more thing, after the system update, X-11 is not available anymore!! only Wayland
here is my garuda-inxi
