pretty sure arch linux switched to python 3.10 recently. and freecad has deps that are not compatible with python 3.10 ie. pyside2 to be specific. pyside2 is a heavy runtime dep in freecad, so if freecad calls some functions related to pyside and your user has his system setup to use python 3.10 then things will not work.
you also might want to post the output of the about freecad window. there's a convenient "copy to clipboard" button that may help in diagnosing the specific issue.
