Garuda linux stuck in first boot (loading screen)

Hi there, welcome!
I think you could try the following procedure:

• use the USB and from there chroot into your system
• run sudo micro /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
• add the module vmd to the MODULES list
• run sudo mkinitcpio -P to regenerate all initramfs
• run sudo micro /etc/default/grub
• add nvme_load=YES to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line
• run sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg to regenerate the GRUB menu
• reboot

If you don't know how to chroot, there is a tool for that in the live USB or a tutorial in the forum to do it "manually".
