Question for GNOME3 users

[tophneal]

Meanwhile ArchlinuxARM already has GNOME 3.36 landed (gotta love how fast Arch packages new releases <3) and it fixed the issues for me. I am sure Manjaro will soon have the packages too, if you don't want to wait you can swap out your mirrorlist with the one from Arch like I did.

That's great for Arch/Manjaro users! Sadly I am not among the ranks anymore, since now I can not get any fresh installs of Arch/Manjaro to stay booting for me.

That sucks, I am glad I installed Manjaro to the EMMC a long time ago and it never acted up like that.
The system folder becoming files sounds like some messing around with flags (like missing x flag

That's certainly possible, Hard to say for sure, as the drive was wiped since there was no way of recovering my lost data.

I don't have any such package installed, so I don't think that was the issue.

It didn't show as a conflict in Fedora, either. A shame, but the glimmer of hope was worth it while it lasted.

EDIT: just ran into this issue on Fedora that may prove helpful, too. I saw many of the same errors given here, when troubleshooting this issue myself: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1762151#c20
Got a Manjaro install to stay booting, too. Switching to unstable repos will get you a working Gnome 3.36
