I’m running a fresh install of Manjaro Gnome. When I boot, I get a black screen. After going into the terminal mode, I can run startx or systemctl restart gdm and everything works, but I have to go into the terminal mode to do that… Any ideas what seems to be the problem?

Nope, plain old Manjaro I also tried to follow a guide specific to dell-xps (only specifying kernel parameters)… I’m seriously thinking of wiping it out and going bare-Arch. Do you have something specific I should pay attention to if I go that way?
I’m on Manjaro because I don’t want to deal with the head-ache of installing Arch from scratch (Manjaro Architect is like Arch from scratch, but with the advantages of not having to compile everything yourself)
Just wait until someone more knowledgeable than me shows up.
I didn’t mess with the configs, I just added some kernel parameters.
I need the nVidia card to be usable, because I will almost always have an external screen plugged in, and as far as I’m aware, that only goes through the nVidia GPU
If you did not did not set anything in a config regarding this the only thing I can think of is that something in the kernel lines bites. Just not sure what I am oke with kernels but not that good.
Guess it will be a trail and error thing.
In tjhe kernel line does this help anything?
random.trust_cpu=on
Still I wonder about your xorg config file.
So what is your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mhwd.conf look like?
and there are no more files in xorg.conf.d?
I guess there is also no etc/X11/xorg.conf or is there?
since your disabled mhwd does it help when you enable it?
so perhaps removing
systemd.mask=mhwd.live.service
Helps… unless there is a specific reason you set this like boot problems without it?
Also do you want to get your nvidia working or just work in with intel graphics?
Also please remove the nomodeset because intel needs it if you use that driver.
