Re: Can't start the system

Can you still boot the multi-user.target?
(2nd link below)

In case, you can check the journal of a previous boot to see where things went wrong (because what most likely fails is simply SDDM)
Also check the xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

Did you read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA_Optimus ?
