also can you do a
systemctl status sddm
here’s the output https://pastebin.com/mF9h0x9e
I think this might have something to do with the issue but I’m not sure
sddm-helper[1790]: Failed to write utmpx: No such file or directory lines 1-25/25 (END)

I did search for the issue. I tried adding i915 to my initramfs modules while it did make the boot a lot cleaner looking, but the sddm is still not rendering, it is there though, I just can’t see it.
Actually, I do have a thunderbolt device plugged in, but I have already ruled it out as a possible cause since the issue still persists even when the thunderbolt device is not plugged in.
the status on the sddm is that it is working but the screen is completely black. Like i can type in my password and press enter and then it takes me to the desktop but I just can’t see it.
