Hello, maybe somebody can help with my issues. Once I installed Manjaro in efi mode on my PC. It worked fine. The knewest kernel at that point was 5.10 and it worked well. Alas that version of installer couldn’t manage to setup encryption correctly. Eventually I removed that Manjaro and installed it again using a newer installer. Newer installer did everything perfect except it failed installing gpu drivers and I had to decrypt the installation and chroot using live media. Chroot let me update the gpu driver and it worked well until I rebooted. All kernels above 5.4 (LTS) now behave in such manner:
Manjaro boots. I have Latte dock installed. It is the only thing that loads. Afterwards it takes around 10 minutes for plasma to load (taskbars, menus, desktop selection animation and icons, etc). Apps are slow. Most of the apps don’t launch. Terminal works but some commands just hang forever. System tells they are not responding. Audio and Internet don’t work (devices aren’t detected). When I reboot or shutdown the system it hangs. If I boot using initramfs it works well. Kernel 5.4 works well without initramfs. If I run mkinitcpio -P kernels above 5.4 (5.11, 5.12 for examples) will boot normally 1-2 times and eventually fail to detect some hardware and become extremely slow the way I described earlier.
My computer also has Solus installed on seperate HDD. Solus has kernel 5.11 at the moment and works perfectly.
It seems kernel 5.10 got promoted to LTS. I am trying it at the moment. It doesn’t work.
