Hello, guys
I already posted some months ago a problem with my GNOME
The admin closed the post, without solution about the case
So, here, I will post the case again with the solution to contribute with the community
The original post is “GNOME is freezing and won’t boot” (you will need to find it because Manjaro Forum doesn’t allow post links here)
So, what is the solution? I will relate below

Hi guys, how are you?
I found the problem that was preventing my GNOME from working properly
I think it’s been over 1 week, I forgot to post the solution here
I have other users on my Manjaro but I never accessed them, only my main user
One day I needed to access another user and when I accessed this user, to my surprise, GNOME was running perfectly on it
So the problem was not installing the packages, it was something else
I immediately suspected it was the GNOME configuration files, which are in the user’s .config folder
So I went into the .config folder of the user who was having problems, deleted several folders that I believed to be GNOME configuration files and folders, but only for that user, not everyone
And then I went into the folder of the other user who had GNOME running perfect, I copied the files that were perfect (since this user I used little so the configuration files were closer to the “factory” files) for the user with problems , then I logged out of the user with problems, I entered my password but now choosing GNOME as DE and not XFCE, and that’s it, a miracle happened, GNOME was working normally
Basically the problem was this, GNOME configuration files, in the user’s .config folder, misconfigured
Deleting the misconfigured files and copying the GNOME files from another user who has perfect GNOME fixed the problem
(Of course we lost the DE settings we were using, but if you want to solve the problem starting from scratch is the way to go)
In this answer is a print of some of the posts I deleted, so everyone knows if there is a problem with this too
