Unfortunately running `yay` didn’t fix the issue even though there were some potentially useful updates yesterday… I did discover that running `startx` works (based on this tutorial here [[FAQ] Computer doesn’t boot, boots to a black screen, or stops at a message](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/faq-computer-doesn-t-boot-boots-to-a-black-screen-or-stops-at-a-message/6887), it showed 3 white console-type boxes for me and when I quit there were no errors/(EE)s in the log.) I’ve updated the post accordingly.
