Logging in Arch is super slow

Hello, yesterday I tried to ask for help in r/archlinux but I didn’t have too much luck so I thought about asking for help here, maybe someone knows is I’m missing some packages or something is not properly configured

Found the solution: I just needed to comment export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=qt6ct in /etc/environment
Edit: I tried adding the link to my post in reddit but it says that I can’t do that

Did you ever think (as an Arch user) to use the Arch forum? You are using, we might assume, Arch - along with Arch package manager and configuration.

Also, as an extremely basic troubleshooting tactic, it’s always a good idea to create a new user and log in with that user - so as not to waste anyone’s time troubleshooting what is very likely just a $USER issue.

I remembered of a similar thread:
Have a look at https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1igb43q/comment/maoedo5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I don’t have an account on the Arch forum

The culprit was using qt6ct; don’t do that. I’d recommend uninstalling it entirely, and making sure QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE isn’t set to anything anywhere.
