Display manager doesn't load desktop and instead shows a black screen for 5 minutes after entering login info. then loads after the 5 minutes

After I get to the login screen from a reboot, once I enter my password and login, instead of getting the desktop, I get a completely black screen for exactly 5 minutes, once those 5 minutes have passed, the desktop loads without any error messages.

I have the browser Vivaldi installed which is chromium based, when I open it after a reboot, it asks me for password, and says the keyring wasn't unlocked when the system logged in. I think this started happening at the same time as the 5 minutes black screen issue. So they could be potentially related?

The black screen always stays there for the exact same duration every restart, 5 minutes.

I have this set to 5 minutes so I tried changing it to 1 minutes to see if it's related but it wasn't, the black screen still stayed for 5 minutes:

Something's timing out after 5 minutes. Use `sudo journalctl --since="-12 minutes"` to inspect the logs.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
