Experiencing Login and Display Issues After Switching to Bluefin OS

Hello, I recently switched from Windows to Bluefin after discovering it. Just a few days in, and I’m already experiencing some issues.

I’ve started noticing that when I turn on my computer, it boots up normally until I reach the login screen. After entering my password, it begins loading, but this process takes several minutes, which seems unusual. After about three minutes, the screen turns a greyish color with only the cursor visible, and the system becomes unresponsive. At that point, the only option I have is to perform a hard shutdown by holding down the power button.

Are you using any extensions? I noticed the Extension list extension causes a long delay and consumes over a gig of ram on my system. I ended up disabling it.
And this happened on two different os installations.

This is the default. Is there anything here you think may causes it?

also my system have 32gb ram

No clue. You could disable all extensions and see if problem persists.
