Already told you, remove the blocking package, and install drivers again. No need to chroot.
1. chroot from the Live USB
2. Configure Graphics Cards - Specifically;
I am currently working in chroot. I am unable to access the system otherwise because it gets stuck indefinitely on the logo.
The command returns an error.

Thank you so much soundofthunder and omano.
Tomorrow I will update the BIOS and open many processes to see if it is stable.
One more thing before I log off, how do i set SystemR REISUB to work?
This should help;
make sure to also read through any links given, and click the "dropdowns:
I think it should work now. Thank you so very much.

Oh, one last thing. Does regularly using the shutdown command take a toll on system performance in any way?
I also want to say a final thank you for all your time and expertise today. I am truly grateful.
Back to original question what can you do right after install, besides backup software and enabling firewall: i tune up some parameters saving space. Cut the journal size and the core dump size, and also package cache size, also tune the ext filesystem to reserve less space for root.
Thanks for all these tips.
Thank you again and logging out.

One thing I should point out: it looks like you used an ancient .ISO for the installation; whilst the linux61 kernel is still supported, I also see:
⌠which means you will have at least one .pacnew to tend to.
These can be listed with
pacdiff -o
There is also manjaro-pacnew-checker in the extra repo, which may be useful here; note I have not tried it myself as I attend to mine manually, using meld.
I have NVIDIA GK208B [GeForce GT 730] on my system with video-nvidia-470xx
GRUBâs non-free option only supports latest nvidia drivers so legacy drivers must be installed after installing with free drivers
If you have installed video-nvidia-470xx and need to configure resolution or refresh rate
Configure NVIDIA (non-free) settings and load them on Startup - Manjaro
1. Open your terminal and enter the following command:
sudo nvidia-settings2. Change resolution and refresh rate in âX Server Display Configurationâ tab.
3. Hit the âSave to X Configuration Fileâ button and save to /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf
4. Now enter the following command into the terminal to complete the process:
sudo mhwd-gpu --setmod nvidia --setxorg /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf
With Timeshift, you can use any snapshot retention policy you deem fit. But it wonât keep any extras no matter how high you set those number, until you increase the hard cap of Timeshift managed snapshots.
In the file: /etc/timeshift-autosnap.conf
You need to set maxSnapshots=3 to a much higher number. It really only gives you one useable rollback snapshot at 3, no matter what settings you try.
I often use maxSnapshots=999, but I do clean my snapshots up before it gets there. Itâs just important to not fill up a btrfs file system, so leave it low if you donât want to worry about it.
Just a note:
Timeshift only creates a snapshot of your system, not your home directory.
Therefore, consider a backup strategy for your user files, especially your dot files.
I personally use the excellent script from @linux-aarhus 
to back up the dot files with an extension to copy my user files to my NAS.
Iâll take the liberty of posting it here:
