CachyOS kde plasma hard-freezes the entire OS

[Maritoguionyo]

Was trying to use CachyOS, but it seems when going into desktop mode it freezes the entire OS and can't seem to be able to switch to tty or do anything, ubuntu works fine

Was wondering if this could be from the image somehow being corrupted while being built or something else

Thanks for the report. @Shivox do you have any ideas on what could be going wrong here?

@Maritoguionyo by "freezing OS" does it mean "black screen" only, or a kernel panic type of issue? Did you try SSH to it while "frozen"?

I also get a black screen on KDE with newer kernels, and my theory that the EDID fix (that people talked about in Discord) would solve it.

It just freezes after swithing from gamescope to desktop mode but you can see plasma loading, or that it was loading
and I guess this gets set to when you reboot too so it still tries to load plasma so it also freezes there
also after it freezes SSH doesn't work anymore

After installing missing packages with pacman, Plasma would eventually load but freeze for 1–2 minutes during startup. The taskbar was missing the open apps widget, which I had to install manually. It works now, but Plasma still starts very slowly.
I believe it still has some stuff missing.
