Hello everyone,
I just switched from ubuntu to manjaro on my desktop, since I was so sattisfied on my laptop. Now I only face setbacks. When I first booted from the USB-Stick, everything looked fine. Clean and sharp, just as I was used from manjaro. I installed manjaro on it’s own partition, created a /home partition and copied my former /home from ubuntu. Under ubuntu I too was using gnome, so this might be, where the problems are coming from.
I adjusted some minor settings and everything looked as before. Then I created a new user for my girlfriend and everything was switched to something awful. All corners were suddenly with a radius, upon login the screen was zoomed out and the dock was set to the bottom. I notice others had similar problems, but they reported this after the upgrade to the new manjaro version, which I did not. I had a fresh clean 21 install from an iso downloaded last week. Some more things that seem off are for example the missing of the “Appearance” Tab in the Gnome Settings.
I even re-installed manjaro and had my old look-and-feel back, only until I logged out and back in to find the UI destroyed once more. I did run pacman -Syu after both installs, so this might also be part of the problem? I also felt like my old ubuntu gnome .config folder might be messing things up, but even with a fresh .config, things did not work out the way I wanted.
Do I need to switch DE or is there a solution for this problem?
Find below the screenshots from booting the USB-Stick and the running system.
