Thanks for the report. This looks like a GTK/GLib ABI mismatch (GTK built against newer GLib, missing g_get_monotonic_time_ns). On CachyOS/Arch, please
run a full sync and reinstall core deps:

 sudo pacman -Syu
 sudo pacman -S --needed glib2 gtk4 gobject-introspection python-gobject

If it still fails:

 sudo pacman -S glib2 gtk4 --overwrite='*'

Reboot and retry. If it persists, please share pacman -Q glib2 gtk4 gobject-introspection python-gobject.

now this works but shows an error:

gtk4 1:4.22.4-1.1
glib2 2.88.1-1.1

also, the icon of the button for hiding the markdown sidebar is not shown

It works now, but when starting sidemark, I get
