Could you please explain more detailed, what that means?
After logging in you normally should see your prompt like you see when you open a terminal using your DE.

[xxxxx@DesktopEOS ~]$

Something similar to this one.
If that is the case you can just work like you normally do.

Hi sorry i had to do somthing

@mattiaoki
When you boot the laptop and it doesn’t load and you have a black screen you have to press Ctrl+Alt+F2 and that will switch from the black screen with possibly flashing cursor to a TTY screen that allows you to log in with root and your password so that you can enter commands. It’s just another type of terminal screen. Once you are on that screen and logged in you can proceed with what they ask.

Edit: I don’t know if you’ve done anything. But the card is an Nvidia 1660 TI mobile which is one of the new Turing models i think. We already added it to the database. You have Intel HD 630 chip using I915 and it installed properly with Bumblebee and Nvidia but boots to a black screen.
Just to be sure on the hardware try to provide @joekamprad the output of this command he gave you.

lspci -vnn | grep '\''[030[02]\]'

I mean that there is a complete black screen at the top its says
Arch Linux 5.6.13-arch1-1 (tty1)
It’s asked me to log in and i did
Then i entered the command that i was told
[mattia@mattia-alinwarem15r2”]$ lspci -van | grep ‘/‘ [030[02]]’
And now all i am getting is this

And when i type somthig

sudo Pacman -Syu
It’s just goes to the next line
?

Did you log in as root and password?

I am almost 100 percent sure that it is because when i was using it on windows it would switch to intel in non intensive load and then back to nvidia

No i logged in normally as my account and password but I didn’t as root
So should i login as root

When i say log in as root i mean use root as the username and your root password.

Ok so now i just turn of the pc and log in as root

Yes and then try
sudo pacman -Syu

Those symptoms could also mean the recent mesa package issue.
You probably should

and reboot.

Ok i logged in and did the command

So if the command works then let these guy’s walk you through more.

Ok

Give this command output.

lspci -vnn | grep '\''[030[02]\]'
