Boot is stuck on [OK] Started Hostname Serivce. [SOLVED]

Hello,
When I start into arch it is stuck on Started Hostanem Service.
journalctl -b
I can log into a tty from 2 to 6. I use sddm as my display manager and the linux version of pacman -Q linux is: "linux 5.18.3.arch1-1".
/etc/fstab

From your journal it looks like sddm isn't finding Logind interface.
It is still continuing to set up your network in the background, sddm is probably just messing with the graphics making it look like it stopped at Started Hostname Service.

sddm[579]: Initializing...
sddm[579]: Starting...
sddm[579]: Logind interface found
kernel: ACPI: \: failed to evaluate _DSM (0x1001)

What happens if you try another display manager like light-dm? Also are you using multiple monitors, or only one? And what graphic hardware are you using? I know for example that if you try to run your integrated graphics chip with a graphics card with shared memory together, xorg doesn't like it.

The xorg log might be helpful.

Neither amdgpu, i915, radeon nor nouveau or nvidia are loaded.

lspci -k
pacman -Qs nvidia

I use two monitors, I have a nvidia 2070 super and how would I use lightdm so switch from sddm to lightdm?

You installed nvidia-utils which blacklists the nouveau kernel module but there's no nvidia kernel module installed, https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/nvidia/
