Hi, I just set up Manjaro Gnome a few days ago and it froze into a black screen with no cursor or display. I tried opening the TTY but it didn’t work either. After several forced shutdowns, it started normally. When I rebooted, the issue returned—system boots up even though I press Fn+F1 to enter sleep mode. I changed the boot option from “quiet” to “3” in the GRUB menu, but nothing fixed it. The TTY still doesn’t open properly. I also installed the Nvidia and Intel drivers during setup. Thanks in advance.

I've been dealing with Manjaro for as long as I can remember, using it frequently. At first it might seem really stable (though I'm being cautious), but it doesn't hold up over time. The issue I've noticed is that I chose a more stable version of Linux—something similar to what comes from Ubuntu—which usually performs better.
