From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Manjaro GNOME immediately logs out after logging in (via GUI) (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

EDIT: I kinda solved it by installing Wayland (with Nvidia card, Ouch!) to replace Xorg. Not sure if this is gonna last though. Perhaps Manjaro is the one I'm gonna throw out FIRST if anything happens from now on.

What should be the first line of defense? Timeshift?

This happened after I installed AUR package masterpdfeditor and 2 applications from github (some hashing algorithm programs, I think they were "Dilithium" and "Latice-based-cryptography-main", one of them was provided by NIST.)

If using GUI: I login, black screen for few seconds, then back at login screen.

If going to ctrl+alt+f2, login successful, then startx, see picture provided (higher quality).

I tried adding a new user, but result is the same.

I have a live usb to do the Timeshift. (I can also chroot if necessary... But I'm not extremely professional)

Have you made a single AUR pkg, or are you just criticizing thousands for their work without any evidence from your armchair?

calamaris and a bunch more.
At one point I was maintaining a large number of KDE git packages before I passed them off to others too.
here are the ones I'm currently maintaining, some of which I've written from scratch; including the previously mentioned calamaris package which if you look is very nonstandard and even makes great use of >=.

or are you just criticizing thousands for their work without any evidence

I'm not even criticizing anyone, I'm just telling you straight and as bluntly as possible how the AUR works.
There's no guideline that say you have to provide proper dependency versioning. That's just not something that's enforced in the AUR.

I've said it before and I'll say it again :

Most AUR maintainers assume you're always going to have the latest or at least close to the latest Arch base packages available to you.
Nobody who maintains AUR packages give enough of a rats ass to put in extra work to support the special edge cases that arise from Manjaro. That includes myself, I'm not going to put in extra work because Manjaro wants to be quirky and use their own flag combination with their package base, nor am I going to provide special back porting. It's just not going to happen.
