yeah, nothing works and konsole is now “unknown application folder”. Going to reinstall everything
Executed commands from chroot. Output was fine. Rebooted to main system, nothing changed ;-;
damn, that was the ‘nuclear’ option…
post output from:
pacman -Qm
to check if you for what ever reason dont have some plasma packages from aur installed;
and also post output from:
cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
pacman-mirrors --get-branch
find /etc/X11/ -name "*.conf"
ls /etc/modprobe.d

# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS=(base)
#
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS=(base udev autodetect block filesystems)
#
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
#
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS=(base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems)
#
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS=(base udev block lvm2 filesystems)
#
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap consolefont filesystems fsck"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"
#COMPRESSION="zstd"
# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=()
# MODULES_DECOMPRESS
# Decompress kernel modules during initramfs creation.
# Enable to speedup boot process, disable to save RAM
# during early userspace. Switch (yes/no).
#MODULES_DECOMPRESS="yes"

I may not have followed all of this.
But perhaps a different avenue.
Check your $PATH variable.
For both root and your user account.
echo $PATH
since everything seems to be in place - but nothing works …

/home/manjaro/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl
You reminded me, that I made something with path when some standard python library wasn’t working. I guess that was “./local/bin” part
that $PATH is not exactly wrong - but it is decidedly different from what I have here:
echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl
… make of that what you will/can 
you can remove all of these:
pacman -R manjaro-documentation-en manjaro-firmware noto-fonts-compat python-pep517
they are not related to your issue, but those are dead packages, and you dont need them…
and i didnt see any configs related to video drivers, but you are having amd gpu, so maybe thats how it should be… but just to be sure, remove the drivers:
mhwd -r pci video-linux
install them:
mhwd -i pci video-linux
also install the latest 6.1 kernel:
pacman -S linux61
and remove these 2:
pacman -R linux419 linux510
you dont need that many kernels…
also post logs from 3 days ago, to see if there were also the machine check errors:
journalctl -b-3 -p4 --no-pager | grep mce
then create a new test user:
useradd --create-home testuser
and give it a password:
passwd testuser
reboot and select the new testuser and see if it has also issues…
and i have the same path as nachlese, so it could be related to your issue…
Okay, I guess that was PATH problem. I found lines I added. After I added these lines, I checked path and didn’t find any changes, so I thought there was no impact. But I just deleted that by chroot, everything works now!!! And I can even open terminal. Thanks everyone for your time! I appreciate that!
whow - ok 
it was just a hunch
keep it in mind for the future - the search path is … important
@brahma
that was an unusual and new one, no?
I saw your efforts and just thought:
why not try this …
keep it up!
you are very knowledgeable, persistent and polite!
just matter of fact and to the point
I could (and should) learn from you.
Cheers!
