Upon a little research I have figured that Ctrl+alt F2 gets me into the terminal where i turn managed to log in, and I will try your suggestions now 
AH, OK. That makes sense.
Please see [HowTo] Provide System Information, if applicable, [HowTo] post screenshots and links and [HowTo] Increase your chances of solving your issue, if you still struggle.
Fast boot is disabled, I can’t seem to find anything related to secure boot here, and by live environment do you mean booting from the USB I used to install the os?
Probably OK.
Indeed.
Success! Live environment seems to be working!* What could my next steps be?
If you’re in the Live environment and you’re open here, then please see [HowTo] Provide System Information and, if applicable, [HowTo] post screenshots and links. Also, please provide the output of:

would not let me paste in the output of mhwd as it was too similar or something but it seems like the problem seems to be showing itself
Try this then:
mhwd | nc termbin.com 9999
and paste the link it returns as per [HowTo] post screenshots and links
you meant mc, correct? it asks me to correct it to that so i’d assume so
zsh: correct 'nc' to 'mc' [nyae]? ```No.
mc = Midnight Commander;
nc = netcat.
Not nearly the same.
Just answer n to that prompt.
zsh: command not found: nc```Try:
mhwd | curl -F 'clbin=<-' https://clbin.com
https://clbin.com/isr2e
OK, I’m going to make a suggestion, which may or may not work. I don’t really know which. Let’s hope and pray it does.
But, here goes:
- You’ll have to
chrootinto the system.
1.1. So open a terminal, and run:
manjaro-chroot -a
1.2.Remove the nouveau drivers:
mhwd --remove video-linux
1.3. Install the nvidia drivers:
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
1.4. Exit the chroot:
sync
exit
Afterwards reboot and (hopefully) profit.
If no profit, then I unfortunately have no idea what else to suggest and we’ll have tto await the arrival of reinforcements.
sounds good, i will open the terminal in the live env?
