I have this kernel installed
pacman -Q linux-zen ░▒▓ ✘ 1 ▓▒░
linux-zen 6.6.2.zen1-1

Please use garuda-inxi.
Have you rebooted after the last update?

yes i have . I deleted garuda stuff

That’s a bit generic, and in any case your system cannot be officially supported.

I see

Try

neofetch --clean

Just a little popup:

Neofetch AND your inxi say that 6.5.8-zen1-1-zen is used…

yeah and gnome settings

i did . no luck

What did you delete?

Reinstall the kernel and paste the input/output from the terminal into the thread.

3 times the same thing… that’s crazy :thinking:

No, seriously: post the output from

pacman -Qs linux-zen

to check what is actually installed.

I don’t need most of the tools anymore I only have garuda-assistant installed

It is easy to remove packages which provide basic functionality if you don’t know what you are doing.

Please:

  1. Can you please edit your first post? Replace the inxi with the output of garuda-inxi and format it correctly:
output from garuda-inxi
  1. Try what BluishHumility suggested.

  2. Your wayland doesn’t load a graphics driver btw…^^

Your “GarudaStuffCleaning” seems to have gone well, to sarcastically agree with @BluishHumility

EDIT says: It’s possible that this all has the same cause.
Your now “lonely” Garuda Assistant may have a helpful option: press the big button called Reinstall all packages.
And Snapper is also an easy option.

Have you tried rebooting prior to panicking?

I did . I installed the lts kernel , then updated grub , it’s not showing in the menus

Doesn’t this mean you are using pfetch instead of neofetch?
Their GitHub site seems almost unmaintained.
If you have neofetch installed, check the output of

neofetch

i used neofetch alone afterwards
