Login Loop:
- Analysis: something must have failed to start, figure out what
journalctl -bon a shell (ctrl-alt-f3 or f2 or f1 from user login screen) - To temporarily refrain from touching display drivers
nomodesetcan be tried (boot screen click e, after quiet splash on the line starting with linux) (another option: nouveau.modeset=0) - Display managers(?): gdm3 (configured underneath: X11, lightdm, sddm), nouveau
- switching may help but probably won't if it is not trivial (don't even try twice)
- xauthority files only matter when you use a specific display manager...
- Kernels that give trouble: nvidia kernels & drivers
- If you didn't find the solution to your problem, make your google search phrase more specific
