I have PCLinuxOS Debian installed on two different partitions, one with Cinnamon and one with KDE. This only happens to me with Cinnamon.
Following a few updates, (not from the initial installation,) starting from the iso dated 21 May 2024, what happens is that all seems normal until the computer reaches the login screen. Then, after a few seconds, it goes back to the Plymouth screen and the progress bar starts over. But it never goes anywhere, and is not broken by ESC. But you can switch between it and the Login screen with CTRL-ALT-F1 (Plymouth) and CTRL-ALT-F7 (login). If you switch to the login screen, then login as normal, everything works OK. But why?
I note that there is a new iso dated 1 June 2024 which I will download and use to re-install. We'll see what happens.
