Okay i tried some more things. As i mentioned i am able to boot into my cloned manjaro install, but the issue is now starting gnome. When i start gnome after i have booted, it will just hang, and when i try to start it on boot by sudo systemctl enable gdm
, it also does not work. I am able to switch to a different tty however.
When looking at the journal, i noticed that the timestamps where incorrect, so i redid the timezones steps according to the arch install wiki to correct it, which did make the timestamps correct, but did not make gnome work.
sudo journalctl -u gdm -b
gives the following:

When i turn on debug mode in /etc/gdm/custom.conf
it looks like this: (appelsaus is my devices name)

Where the line Gdm: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: System doesn't currently support graphics
jumps out to me the most. Maybe the issue is driver related? This manjaro install was originally installed with an intel chip and intel graphics, while my new device has amd graphics (vega 7). Though, shouldn’t there be amd drivers included in the kernel?
I have tried running gdm on X, by uncommenting the corresponding line in /etc/gdm/custom.conf
, this did not change anything.
