I can't seem to figure out the issue, I tried entering into an tty but it didn't work.
After I choose Garuda from the GRUB menu, it only shows a black screen after showing two lines of console output (not errors), sometimes I also get to see a splash loading screen that says press esc to show textual output, but it doesn't work. The backlight is on in the black screen. I tried all the commands in the pinned post like entering through a chroot and garuda-update'ing it, but that didn't do anything too...
Please help, I am out of ideas....

The thread also contains more info about what your issue might be.
