Did
sudo systemctl stop systemd-homed.service systemd-userdbd.service systemd-userdbd.socket
sudo systemctl disable systemd-homed.service systemd-userdbd.service systemd-userdbd.socket
sudo systemctl mask systemd-homed.service systemd-userdbd.service systemd-userdbd.socket

After a warning about " Unable to open /etc/tcb: " somewhere in my logs I had followed to [Unstable Update] March 2026 - #6 by philm , user GaVenga. But I don’t understand the instructions there given to user GaVenga or what he did to fix, but it seems he had a different coredump issue also it seems and maybe the /etc/tcb was unrelated: accounts-daemon: Unable to open /etc/tcb: No such file or directo / Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues / Arch Linux Forums .

Even if no-one spots an immediate error - any advice on a few things to try - re-install video drivers, other things to re-install or try (and how) even if not clear on exact cause? TIA !
