Manjaro instability

In my experience, I often get the black screen as you describe with NOTHING on the screen, absolutely no terminal-like cursor. Once, out of frustration while rebooting to try and get to the login screen, I put it down without turning it off. When I came back to it several minutes later, I tapped the trackpad, the mouse moved, and there was the login! I haven't sat down and timed it yet, but after 10-15m, my black screen will be the full desktop. It has done this whether I left the lid open or closed. Now, if I don't get the login the first or second try, I just put it down and come back to it after a break.

I'm really hoping that once the hardware support is solidified in mainline, we'll see this behavior stop.

You can add XFCE and i3 (although i3 seems to do it less) to the list then lol! I will try the leave it for 10-15 mins trick next time. I am both glad I'm not just being an idiot with my configuration but also annoyed that it's not something I can easily fix myself.
