Manjaro doesn't boot after I install Nvidia drivers via "sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300"

that can be fixed:
kate /etc/default/grub
and change this line to look like this:
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
then save the file and run this:
sudo update-grub
reboot and check

and then post output from:
inxi -xG

so the driver is loaded, and problem solved

Thanks a lot sir. This was such a huge help. but could you tell me one more thing? Suppose in the future I somehow needed to reinstall manjaro. How would I fix this issue then? just by editing that module line?

did you edited the grub, reboot and is the grub menu now being shown?
yes you can install with open source drivers, and then in your installation you edit the modules section, and install the proprietary drivers, reboot, or you can do it from chroot, like described above

Yes grub is working now. Thanks a lot man. I was so troubled for the last two days. Thanks a lot sir <3

i again forgot that you are on amd+nvidia and not on intel :unamused:, so edit the modules section and replace the i915 with amdgpu:
kate /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES=(amdgpu nvidia nvidia_drm nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset)

save it, and update it:
sudo mkinitcpio -P
reboot
