I am now stuck on the boot splash. Nothing happening. Just the 3 white dots on screen appearing and disappearing. (KDE)

see this point for try stop boot (REISUO)
you should boot on USB live iso manjaro , do a chroot and check journalctl

You can try to press ESC key to see if you see some log output. Another option would be to press ESC key when booting to go into the grub menu. Then select the boot entry and press E for edit. Navigate to the line which has quiet and splash and delete those lines. Press CTRL + X to start. See what you PC may tell you. To start your PC in a TTY you can repeat those steps and write 3 additionally after removing those two words to start into a TTY.

odd. which drivers you are useing? Nvidia?
can you report
inxi -Fza Yes. Iâm using nvidia drivers for the discrete card. Onboard (amd) is active aswell tho. (3rd screen) All screen be stuck on the plymouth splash.

# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES=(usbhid xhci_hcd)
MODULES=()
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=()
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No RAID, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS=(base)
#
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems fsck)
#
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS=(base udev modconf block filesystems fsck)

can you try ,
on boot , press Esc to see Grub > advanced > Kernel
press (E) and remove ânvidia_drm.modeset=1â
Iâve moved this to its own Topic, since it seems to deserve one.
Hope you are all OK with this. Cheers 
Hmm, I wonder what happens for those who stuck with plymouth when they update to the latest plymouth we offer. We hold back plymouth mostly for Nvidia users, which reported a black screen when we updated it last time. Now we have reports of getting stuck in a splash screen:
sudo pacman -U https://mirror.easyname.at/manjaro/pool/overlay/plymouth-24.004.60-12-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
I donât see ânvidia_drm.modeset=1â anywhere in the Grub editor.
However, I removed quiet splash from /etc/default/grub and executed update-grub afterwards to see if the system works without intervention then. It did.
Interestingly, I just readded quiet splash and used update-grub again. Now it boots normally as well. Maybe only the update-grub was required?
EDIT: Turns out with quiet splash my machine doesnât boot reliably. Sometimes it goes up, sometimes it doesnât.
