I also face a similar issue. It doesn’t freeze every time I launch it but sometimes it does. However, it always freezes (and weird glitches appear on the screen) when I maximize the window.
output when I launch nautilus from the terminal:

OK----are you using a custom theme? If so, go back to Adwaita & retest.
I’m on Adwaita & this is what I see in terminal:
[dean@ASUS-Z790 Desktop]$ nautilus

I am also having similar issues when launching nautilus. I have noticed it more specifically when maximizing nautilus. Sometimes, nautilus launches just fine in windowed mode. When I maximize it, it freezes then crashes.
Hey, I’d like to chime into the topic. The issue seems to not be EndeavourOS specific as I am experiencing it on Arch too. This means it’s either an upstream issue with Arch, or even directly in GNOME.
I am not using any themes and it is indeed very crashy, sometimes on launch and always on maximizing the window.

Yeah, well the basic logs are about as useful as nothing so maybe I would need to fire up gdb and dust off my ability to use it.

there are some significant changes realted to theming (GTK) with the Gnome update… recommending to reset theme settings to see it this resolves the issues.
You could also create a test user: sudo useradd -m -G wheel testuser sudo passwd testuser
and restart GDM to login with it:
sudo systemctl restart gdm
To remove the testuser:
sudo userdel -r testuser (will remove its home path and files too)
I tested old GNOME install after update without real issues only some theming things as of i set up some colors and using different theme overrides for libadwaita apps and stuff…
Fresh install also does not have any such issue… so in general everything should work with the update.
I reset all GNOME themes without any luck. After that, I also uninstalled and reinstalled GNOME following the guide here, but the bug is still here. Then, I created a new user as suggested but had the same issue.
I don’t know where the problem is, maybe something is wrong with my setup, but clearly, something is broken.
