Before I switch back to my phone to post the pictures I took of TTY while applying your suggestions, I will just say for now that it looked like a lot of pacs had to be re-downloaded and re-installed. Even after all of that I still end up booting into TTY only. I’m currently reading up on other solutions that are involved with the desktop manager instead to see if anything there works. So far one guide I am tempted to follow is this one: Manjaro starting in TTY, problem is Display Manager how to fix? - #8 by Ualtarh
I’m guessing (lightdm) isn’t KDE in this case right?
A lot of packages were re-downloaded and reinstalled, but the problem hasn’t gone away yet.
As of right now I’ll share what (journalctl -b -1 -p 4) has logged while manjaro-chrooting from a live session, Nvidia shows up a lot here:
journalctl -b -1 -p 4
