Chroot into the system, make sure the /boot partition is mounted and run

pacman -Syu systemd-sysvcompat

The system has now installed this and has loaded and installed a lot of updates. What now?

Is /sbin/init there?
Did you rebuild the initramfs?
Can you reboot?

I can now boot again. However, the X-Server does not start automatically. I can log in via tty, then I'm greeted by screenfetch and after screenfetch I get the message -bash: jenv: Command not found twice.

And what would normally start the X11 server?
Some .bash_profile?
There's clearly something bogus in your shell configs, so look at them and fix that.

First of all, thank you very much for the help and the effort you have invested here. I had to reinstall xorg-server, lightdm, lightdm-gtk-greeter, xfce4 and xfce4-goodies to have my desktop back. Now there is another strange thing and that is that my programs are displayed, but they are all no longer installed.

I guess this topic can be closed.

Mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

In your next topic, start by posting

sudo LC_ALL=C pacman -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files'

buy you may also just try to re-install all packages

nb. that if the 1st command shows mtree issues, you need to address those first by installing the package "--dbonly"
