Xorg/GUI won't start, Intel/Nvidia graphics, Dell laptop, [SOLVED]

Hi everyone,

Second time Arch user here. First laptop install was relatively smooth. This one, not so much. Right now, when I execute "startx" I get an error telling me no display was found. I am on my Windows partition now, so will pull that error message soon (forgot before I rebooted). In the meantime, here are some logs and stuff:

dmesg:

And now that I've posted this and proof read it a little bit, I'm noticing some things that I missed before. I also have a "20-intel.conf" file which is very basic... it only has the "device" section I believe. I will get that as well.
My bash command logs are very convoluted otherwise I'd post those too. Suffice it to say I messed up one install already with messing around and absentmindedly trying things from forum posts nearly decades old, so I've avoided that this time...

Also, my full system config is almost identical to this wiki post, excepting a few revision numbers:

Re: Xorg/GUI won't start, Intel/Nvidia graphics, Dell laptop, [SOLVED]

Something in those wikis worked, can't even remember exactly what it was as I haven't had time to look at it all day today. All I know is I've spent many many hours reading the wiki, and somehow I missed these two pages. Will post again with my solution this week.
