This is highly unlikely to be a KDE issue. I would recommend following up on the Arch forum first. If troubleshooting done there indicates that it may be a KDE issue of some kind, we can re-open this.

Good luck!

I am quiet certain it is specifically KDE related since such issue is not present in any other DE (tested i3, xfce, GNOME). Also my loading screen process terminates with exit code 15 if I don't move my mouse around after I complete the login, I am not even sure where to begin digging on this issue, I request help here because that's what is not working, everything besides kwin and ksplash.

This issue is present for over 3 months, I am trying to migrate to KDE monthly and so far this is the only issue left that is not going away as updates go by. I can provide journal but I am not sure what exactly should I look for in there, besides following there is nothing relevant.

```

Thing is, this is a bug tracker, not a troubleshooting service. It sounds like a whole host of stuff on your system is in a bad state up right now. If and when any of those issues get pinpointed to being bugs in our code, we can track them on this bug tracker. Until then, please take the troubleshooting process somewhere else. Thanks!
