KDE Plasma stuck at Splash Screen.

I am a Arch newbie and dual booted Arch with windows 10.

Installed KDE as the desktop manager and tried to login. It start loading up KDE and gets stuck infinitely on the KDE Splash screen. I have no idea why this happens.
I thought KDE was broken and removed KDE and installed GNOME. Even GNOME has the same issue. It get stuck after the login screen.

My laptop specs are :
Model : Dell 7567
CPU : Intel Core i5 7300HQ
GPU : Nvidia GTX 1050Ti
RAM : 8GB

Re: KDE Plasma stuck at Splash Screen.

Did you install the proprietary graphics drivers? That looks like an Optimus laptop so you have to decide for a few approaches depending on what you want to do, outlined here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus
