After applying a login customization package from KDA Plasma, the system does not boot and remains stuck in a _ and does not go beyond that.

I'm guessing you applied a broken SDDM theme.

If you're using systemd for a bootloader, you could boot into a different runlevel (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … _boot_into) and change the SDDM theme to default in the config files (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SDDM#Theme_settings). Or at least when you've booted into a different runlevel, try to look at the logs and see what's not allowing to boot into your system.

Odd. I've had several broken sddm themes and this never happened to me. It just uses the default theme.

If you've an old SDDM theme that depend on Qt5 but don't have some relevant packages installed anymore since plasma moved to Qt6, the greeter will ever-crash.
Look at the dependencies of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sddm-sugar-candy-git

However, that's all blind guesswork.
Reboot the system by frenetically pressing ctrl+alt+del (do NOT use the power button!) and then only boot the multi-user.target (2nd link below) and post the journal of the previous boot

sudo journalctl -b -1 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Please don't follow or recommend youtube guides.
The linear format makes them unexhaustive in nature, what randomly might have worked for you could run the next guy into a disaster and they also tend to be full of nonsense and quickly dated.

Just recollect what you did (you can use https://deepl.com/) and then please always remember to 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.
