Please follow the Standard Litany when asking a question:
• What was your environment? What was your operating system, configuration?
• What did you do? What did you run or test? Where?
• What actually happened? What were the exact results, complete log contents, exact error messages?
• What did you expect? What were you aiming to achieve? What result were you looking for?

Vague or superficial questions will yield vague or superficial answers. False information leads to false solutions.

Also see this similar guide on how to ask smart questions.

Not a graphical environment

Do you have a Display manager installed? Usually looks like a login screen, manages display sessions.

It will give you a link which you will post here

Archinstall, good to know. What settings did you choose for profile?

warm dew

#

That's alright

#

But yeah I guess logs at this point would help. Something failed to start and it's likely because of default BSPWM behavior.
