I did an update last night (pacman -Syu) and have since not been able to boot to the desktop environment. Everything appears fine until after this line. [ OK ] Started Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service
After this it just hangs and nothing happens. I have tried looking through journalctl in tty but can’t find anything (I don’t really know what to look for). linux lts and the fallback kernal doesn’t work either. I’ve tried various nvidia drivers too, I couldn’t even get it to work when I launched with integrated graphics. I’ve spent the whole of today trying to find a solution to this but nothing I understood worked.
info:
CPU: Ryzen 7 6800H
GPU: RTX 3060 Mobile
Kernal: 6.2.10-arch1-1
DE: xfce
Dual booted with Windows 11
I apologise if there is an obvious answer I missed that could be found through google, and for having no logs to provide, since I do not know how to get them off my laptop in tty. I’m relatively illiterate when it comes to linux and I appreciate any help.

Is there a way I can get the logs off my computer? I’ve had to type this all manually, apologies if there is an obvious way, I can’t get eos-sendlog to work.
though I’m not entirely sure this is what fixed it as I can remove them and it still boots to the login screen.
But now my keyboard and touchpad do not work when at the login screen.
The logs in /var/log/Xorg.0.log show many errors like

When I updated I can’t remember what exactly was updating unfortunately.
Yes I am using lightdm, I also tried sddm earlier with no success, but that was before I managed to get to the login screen.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf doesn’t exist on my laptop, I think I may have accidentally deleted it when trying to delete the config nvidia-xconfig generated.
