Hello, i’ve installegod Gothic 2 game and wendt into setings to chrnge some setdings, after display resolution changed, screen went blank, so i restarted.
After the login screen went blank again, i tought it was because of the game, so i logged in with wayland to chage setings in the game. Problem persisted, so i uninstalled the game in wayland and still not solved.
I am thinking to reinstall x11 but i’m don’t know how, i’m a relatively new user of linux, i’ll atach specs and other PICTURES caz i’m lost in Wayland AND KEYBOARD LAYOUT IS DIFFERENT AND INTERNET DOESNT WORK, please help get x11 back, is the most friendly enviorment.

Installing a game shouldn’t do any damage to the system, at least if you install them correctly, that is by Steam or some game app like Lutris or Heroic. Please, tell us how you installed them, because if you tried some manual shenanigans, it can explain the issues.

Also, can you log in into tty? If you don’t know what tty is and how to log into it, do some research. If tty works, you can fix your system from there. If not, you need to familiarize yourself with chrooting Manjaro. Another important topic to learn to fix the system. Unless you have a backup, then I would suggest restring backup from tty or from live system.

By the way, why do you have Gnome and SDDM which is a DM for Plasma? This shows that you were installing different DEs so this can be the cause of conflicts and your problems. I would suggest to re-install your system again. It is possible to clean such install, but it takes a lot of time, and you need some knowledge to do that. Usually it’s just too bothersome, hence reinstalling is the easiest thing.
Besides, you have too many issues and I assume, you messed with your system too much. Figuring this out could be very tedious and time-consuming.

You sound like a newbie, and you need to accept that you will brake Manjaro once or twice till you learn it. This is part of the experience and part of the learning curve. We’ve all been there.

I noticed that the game changes the whole system resolution, and desabled the built-in screen, i saw this while trying to find out why on the second screen.
i went in sittings and checked why the resolution had changed overall and saw that built in screen is desabled.
i hope this stays here fore any other fools like me who installed a game from unknown sources and freaked the computer

Wow! Never heard that the game can disable the in-built screen. That’s crazy!
Good you were able to solve it yourself.

As to tty, you need to boot the system and only then try to log in to tty. Basically, tty works only if the system works.
