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.
A quick fix I found for this was putting GSK_RENDERER=cairo on /etc/environment and rebooting the system, I’m not sure if it breaks something else but, it does fix Nautilus crashing when opened/maximizing it
Thanks, it worked. And not only that, it fixed the really slow opening of Nautilus which appeared since Gnome 47. If before 47 it was instant, with Gnome 47 it took Nautilus a good 2-3 seconds to show a window once opened. Now this is also fixed.
I know this topic is old like 13 days, but I am experiencing this issue too, not only with Nautilus, but with Gnome Terminal, Gnome System Monitor, anything related to Gnome.
I have a laptop with Intel processor and GeForce graphics card, Arch Linux with Budgie latest, and usually gnome apps are running fine, but I do something and all Gnome apps start working slow. Even when going from bookmarks in Nautilus will slow it done for couple of seconds. Last time I have only opened steam application, and Gnome application are down.
Then I have desktop machine, with AMD cpu and AMD graphics card, Arch Linux Gnome latest. In this case everything is working fine, no issues with Gnome applications.
