I think this is the same issue I have been having as well. Here is the link to the post: Long black screen after login and KDE session crash after some minutes - #10 by West While increasingly predictable, yet still hard to identify the underlying issue (at least for me and that fact this issue is still occurring over 6 months later), it makes CachyOS almost completely dysfunctional as it requires to reboot or even hard boot several times in a row on a good day just to get into a single desktop session. Literally, it takes me about 15 minutes to boot into my OS only once cleanly after an average of 4 failures requiring reboot. Try to make sure you hit reboot button instead of trying to login when your thrown back to the login screen, it should save you some time of having to hard boot. However, you still have to pay attention to the startup processes constantly until you get into a usable Wayland session. Hopefully this issue’s underlying mechanism is identified soon and fixed as it is a massive amount of resources in terms of time spent troubleshooting including reinstalling your OS several times as well as rebooting constantly after you have realized reinstalling the OS doesn’t fix the problem.
