I am having issues with Arch linux where I boot to the login screen and after signing in it the Monitor will display a no signal, to fix that, I switched the input from PC to Display Port. Sometimes the input switch won’t work and the only way to get a input I would have to restart the computer. Is the issue Linux, the monitor, or the drivers?

sudo startx

It is also a recurring issue, now I just have video proof, sometimes when I reboot after an active secession, it has no issues.
It pops up after shutting down the computer and not using it for a night
DE is budgie
The wierd thing is that I also have budgie installed on my laptop with the same OS setup(gdm, budgie, arch linux) and it doesn’t have the same issue, like it is just the desktop that has issues after signing in
When I was first installing Manjaro I had some issues booting into the installer DE. Using Antergros seemed to solve the issue and I was able to boot and install
There is Wayland but kinda iffy on running it with budgie.
Gonna leave the next step to someone more familiar with arch but rebuilding your xorg install is probably the next step. Unless Arch had some weird kernel option that may be the issue.
@Just_Lurking
Maybe, I guess I just wanted to document this issue, it is pretty minor with a slight nuisance. It is not the end of the world if I can’t fix it.
The thing is, my laptop doesn’t have the same issue, and it has a similar setup with the DE, OS, and xorg. The only difference is that the laptop is using the intel integrated graphics while the desktop is a Fury X.
I figured that the amd open drivers should be well supported on Linux.
Thinking it is a a weird settings in one of the conf files, fresh install would clear that up. But since I am not super confident in arch package management, I am not the person to lead you through it.
Is there any way to change the config file without needing to reinstall everything?
I am hesitant to reinstall, because the last time I tired installing arch for the first time, I had issues booting the live cd for manjaro.
The only way I was able to install was to use the Antergos cli installer.
What would I search for for issues similar to this? To research further, half the time I don’t know what to search for unless the computer gives me a error message
