:+1: Welcome to Manjaro! :+1:

  1. Please read this:
    How to provide good information
    and post some more information so we can see what’s really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies…
  2. An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information… (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
    Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.
  3. There is such a thing called TTY2 and you enter it by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 and logging in there.
    That will allow you to post any information that we require to help us help you solve your issue.
  4. It looks like you’re a single kernel person. On a rolling release model like Manjaro, it’s a good idea to have at least one LTS kernel available in case the Stable kernel (5.11) acts up, so install 5.10 (and 5.4 is you have enough space on /) ASAHP and boot into those before you have any problem!.
    Have a look here to understand what’s an LTS (=Long Time Support) and a Stable kernel.

P.S. If you enter a bit more details in your profile, we can also see which Desktop Environment you’re using, which CPU/GPU or Kernel, … you have without typing it every time
