I have a similar situation as:

After system update my machine boots but my GUI does not work and I just have a black screen with:

/dev/nvme0n1p7: clean, 375397/6406144 files, 7386159/25600000 blocks

I can ctrl + alt + F2 to run a shell and perform tasks.

$ inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width -G --display

What can I do to get X back up and running?

Didn’t kernel 5.13 get dropped and removed from the repos? First thing I’d do is either install a lts kernel or update to the latest kernel. You should be able to do that from the cli and then run a system update

Ok, nice. I installed kernel 5.15 and now it gets past the clean files blocks black screen but X still doesn’t load-up, it just hangs after Load/Save Random Seed:
