I followed the instructions [here](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/nvidia-gpu-users-attention-please-june-2025/72058).

More specifically-

> **B: [Grub]**
> 
> - Press **e** when the grub-boot menu appears.
> - Use the arrow keys to find the line that looks like this:  
> `linux /vmlinuz=linux root=UUID=...... rw quiet resume=....` (… = long snake of numbers)
> - put **systemd.unit=multi-user.target** right after **rw** like this:  
> `rw systemd.unit=multi-user.target resume=....`
> - I recommend removing **quiet** to get more informational output on boot (leave the rest untouched!!!)
> - Press **Ctrl+X** to boot with this parameter.
> - give root password there (in case you are wired connected) install nvidia drivers:
> - `pacman -S nvidia-open nvidia-utils`  
> (on latest cards only see here: [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA))  
> a bit older (still not legacy) GPUs:  
> `pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils`  
> after the `reboot` you should be fine.
