From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

As I said, I have Arch Linux with the HyDE dotfiles.

I did a sudo pacman -Syu today and after I rebooted the PC, it starts at the login screen (as always), but then, after I logged, I get stuck on a Black Screen.

Any help, pls?

Everything looks pretty normal to me.

pacman is working, I have no errors. I did what you said. Logged in the console (tty) (Arch Linux 6.15.9-arch1-1) and everything looks pretty normal, no errors or anything else.

sudo systemctl status shows you what services are running, sudo systemctl list-units lists everything, including the services that failed. sudo systemctl status gdm.service shows you the status of one service in particular, and sudo journalctl -u gdm.service shows the output/logs of that service.

There's a decent chance something is not starting due to misconfiguration. I'm guessing GDM based on previous comments. You can also check /var/log/pacman.log (make sure to save a copy, just in case), to see what packages changed/updated.

If you think it's a pacman issue somehow, you can reinstall your entire system (excluding AUR or self-made PKGBUILDs). Note that this is almost never required to fix an issue. In a properly working system this "shouldn't harm anything", but nothing can be guaranteed on a broken system. The command for that is sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Qqn)
