I just installed manjaro to a Dell G15 laptop.
On boot the login screen does not appear. If I switch to tty2 and than back to tty1, the login screen apperas.
I found similar problems in the forum, but did not managed to find a solution for my setup.
Please post output of inxi -Fazy --filter.

What happens if you just wait without switching to tty?
I waited for a few minutes. It just hangs.
Did you try switching to exclusive proprietary and/or using PRIME or Optimus?
It looks like it’s already installed (PRIME for the Nvidia and Intel GPUs, dGPU and iGPU respectively.)
Can you paste results from journalctl -b after rebooting?
Can you also add i915 to the MODULES array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf then rebuild the initramfs with mkinicpio -P?
Another thing to try is to reconfigure/reinstall GDM.
Adding i915 to the modules solved the issue.
Thank you so much.

Welcome! 
Good luck going forwards with your daily usage of the hybrid graphics (Nvidia dGPU + Intel iGPU). I intentionally avoid such systems, personally, so I can only defer to others who use them regularly when it comes to gaming, performance, battery life, etc.
I err towards Intel-only for laptop, and Nvidia-only for desktop / sheer performance. I’ve read too many mixed stories about Nvidia/Intel hybrid laptops.
