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.

I wanted to do a full update, but kept having the error that hyprutils 0.3.something was conflicting with hyprutils-git 0.2.something. So I used pacman to install hyprland and had it remove hyprland-git and all the associated -git versions of stuff like hyprpaper.

Anyway, then I did the -Syu, and rebooted, then logged in, only for the login screen to show up again. Now, whenever I login in, it just loops me back to the login.

I feel super stupid for messing with this stuff, and now I'm probably going to have to just reinstall everything. Thankfully, my dual boot windows was not affected.

If anyone wants to laugh at me, it's ok, I deserve it.

As others said, the fix will be easy. Reinstalling everything should never be something you have to do. In the very worst case scenario, chrooting should solve any situation. Contrary to other OS, even removing system files will not force you to do a fresh install from scratch.
