I have problem with starting Manjaro i3 on MacBook Pro 2015. It’s blank/black screen. I’m waiting for It 1 hour (nothing more).
I’ve testing on this MacBook and pendrive more linux.
Ubuntu 20.04 - working good.
Ubuntu 20.10 beta - only in safe graphics. In normal mode this same problem.
Fedora 33 beta - only in safe graphics. In normal mode this same problem.
Fedora 32 - works good.
Manjaro gnome and i3 - problem with starting on all settings.

(sorry for spacing, but Manjaro forum have weird rules)
try to add these options :
select free drivers
then (E)dit line command grub ( be careful keyboard is in US / qwerty mode )
uses arrows and add
“options i915 fastboot=1 enable_fbc=1 enable_guc=2”
then F10
And it work. But after installation I have the same problem with starting from disk. I can’t use the same solutions because I don’t have access to grub.
sudo manjaro-chroot -a ( type 1 if only one line 0 appears )
nano /etc/default/grub ( add your option here "intel_iommu=on" )
update-grub
exit ( end chroot )
