I installed an Arch based distribution called Archcraft on my pc along with Windows yesterday (Dual Booting). To be more detailed it was the Archcraft wayland edition iso which comprised of only wayland window managers. I installed archcraft with systemd using its ABIF CLI install system instead of using calamares. This was because when i installed with calamares it used the grub bootloader and when grub was used the OS would refuse to boot up properly and the same "Timed out while waiting for udev queue to empty" message will pop up. So I installed Archcraft with systemd using ABIF.

On the first boot with systemd, archcraft booted fine with no issues whatsoever. However, after fully upgrading the system using pacman -Syyu it never booted properly again. The same "Timed out while waiting for udev queue to empty" popped up despite restarting multiple times. Adding to that, I read on some forums that ejecting CD's or even dongles can solve this issue. Therefore, i removed both my mouse and anything attached to my laptop externally as an attempt to solve the problem. Yet nothing worked. I am questioning whether it is because i have dual booted with windows but i had installed this particular arch distribution before without windows installed and this problem still prevailed as i remember.

This issue is likely because I have a nvidia rtx 4050 mobile GPU and the nvidia drivers are messing up.

Here are some pictures of the error message that pops up on boot:

Fyi I have installed other distros with no problems whatsoever so I don't think it is a problem with my computer.
