Assuming Arch is putting things in the same place, you can find your ui.log in ~/.local/share/GameMakerStudio2-Beta/ui.log Additionally, you might find a crash dump in ~/.local/share/GameMakerDumps which would be useful to have as well.

You may also get additional information if you start GameMaker from the terminal directly. Though I'm not entirely sure what or how you installed it, on Ubuntu using the official deb installation, it installs to /opt/GameMaker-Beta and you can run the GameMaker script there to start it. It may give more insight into why it cannot start up, should you be using a shortcut to start it.
