Update: reinstalled EndeavourOS offline method, updated OS, boots as normal. (Except now my desktop is XFCE)
So, maybe a KDE Desktop issue?
p.s. I only saw “recovering journal”, not “needs journal recovery”

You should continue your questions here.
Offline method is only capable of XFCE desktop option.
I did understand that the offline method would install XFCE.
As my issue returned with an online (KDE desktop) reinstall, I am guessing it may have something to do with KDE.
