Seems like Plasma crashed on login. Can you get a backtrace of it? See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
Of which package should I get the backtrace,plasma-wayland?
`plasmashell`
I am on arch and I don't really get how I can do that. Where can I even find the plasmashell pkgbuild? And for debugging itself,I assume that I have to follow the "CMAKE (KDE) applications" section of that archwiki page. In that section it says that I should change -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to Debug and -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to RelWithDebInfo,but what even is that and how can I change it? I assume that after that all I just have to cmake the pkgbuild,but then where is the backtrace located?
These are good questions for Arch people. The fact that it's so difficult for Arch users to generate proper backtraces is a frustration for me as a person who has to ask them to do it all the time, so I imagine it must be frustrating for you too.

I will ask on r/archlinux on how to do that,I will give the backtrace then

Wait,where can I find the plasmashell package build? Before I can ask for help on the archlinux subreddit,I need to know where I can find that pkgbuild.
I have no idea. That's a question for Arch people, not KDE people.
Find the package owner with pacman, then you can get it through abs.

Can you please give me a tutorial or something on how I can do that easiliy? The archwiki page for that is too hard for me and I need wayland to work.
If this is too hard, it may be a sign that Arch is not the right distro for you. :)
But every other distors repos don't have the newest packages,the arch repo and aur have so many new packages,I need to use arch cause of that. I will do my research.
openSUSE Tumbleweed is a rolling release distro that ships the latest versions of everything (everything that's packaged, at least) and includes debug symbols. Or you can just learn how to rebuild packages in Arch. :)
I updated to plasma 5.22 and now it works.
Oh good. :)
