EDIT: I kinda solved it by installing Wayland (with Nvidia card, Ouch!) to replace Xorg. Not sure if this is gonna last though. Perhaps Manjaro is the one I'm gonna throw out FIRST if anything happens from now on.
What should be the first line of defense? Timeshift?
This happened after I installed AUR package masterpdfeditor and 2 applications from github (some hashing algorithm programs, I think they were "Dilithium" and "Latice-based-cryptography-main", one of them was provided by NIST.)
If using GUI: I login, black screen for few seconds, then back at login screen.
If going to ctrl+alt+f2, login successful, then startx, see picture provided (higher quality).
I tried adding a new user, but result is the same.
I have a live usb to do the Timeshift. (I can also chroot if necessary... But I'm not extremely professional)

@Rustmilian
calamaris and a bunch more.
At one point I was maintaining a large number of KDE git packages before I passed them off to others too.
here are the ones I'm currently maintaining, some of which I've written from scratch; including the previously mentioned calamaris package which if you look is very nonstandard and even makes great use of
>=.I'm not even criticizing anyone, I'm just telling you straight and as bluntly as possible how the AUR works.
There's no guideline that say you have to provide proper dependency versioning. That's just not something that's enforced in the AUR.
I've said it before and I'll say it again :
