[Solved] Cannot use any graphics after update

I somehow got myself into a usable state by using snapper. The issue is as following. After updating, I was not able to log into a desktop environment any more. For background, I am using qtile and a minimal login manager (ly). Now ... my steps to debug are as following:
* I checked the journal for errors but nothing of significance showed up
* I installed hyprland to eliminate xorg. hyprland also got stuck (I tried from tty too)
* I changed to a graphical login manager (sddm). This mande the whole system unusable

I rolled back using snapper. Now, I tried updating again and it crashed ... again. I want to be able to update and want to gather information so that I can rule out the packages that bring issues or if there is a manual intervention needed. Bellow is a list of the packages affected by the update:

Here is my system:
CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900H
GPUs:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-P [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 04)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation AD106M [GeForce RTX 4070 Max-Q / Mobile] (rev a1)

I did not install the nvidia drivers as I don't really want to use nvidia for battery saving purposes (and honestly, I just realised that I have it).

Re: [Solved] Cannot use any graphics after update

Add "nvidia_drm.modeset=1" to kernel parameters if you updated to newest mesa 1:25.1.1-1 and see if it helps.

OR

If you reverted system back by snapper, add mesa to IgnorePkg section and uncomment it.

Some users have issues with newest mesa: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=305727
