I have recently done the switch to Manjaro (with Gnome environment). Ever since first booting it after installation, I’ve been having this same issue where it will boot, progress past the Manjaro bootsplash and open a blank Gnome login page. I say blank because there are no options for users, even though I can still see the date and time at the top as well as other options for volume, shut down etc.
Usually around 3 times after turning the computer off and on again it will work, but I just figured out an easier workaround which is to select the option to suspend from the options that are visible on the top of the login page and then turn the computer on again, which will then show a proper login page with my user account where I can then enter my password and log in.
I’ve seen similar issues discussed on the forum being solved by opening and closing a TTY or passing certain commands on a TTY, but none of the ctrl+alt+f keys command work, thet only stop the cursor from moving until I click ctrl+alt+f1 (which I suppose is the command to exit from tty?).
I have already researched this issue throughout the forum for many hours in the last three days and tried various solutions in the past few days. My latest attempt has been to simply reinstall the OS from a live USB, but the issue is still present. Normally I would just go to a different OS because this is an extraordinary level of effort for fixing an OS I have not committed to, but I feel it is worth it, because so far I have liked all other aspects of Manjaro 
This is my first time posting here, so please let me know if there are additional informations I should provide to help solve this issue.
Thanks in advance
