How to disable Xorg from installation media
After installing Arch Linux, I installed Xorg along with KDE Plasma (along with Nvidia drivers etc.) Once I first booted into Plasma, everything froze at the desktop screen after moving my mouse around a bit. It seems that this is being caused by the system using Nouveau drivers instead of the proprietary ones I installed. I have attempted to make changes to this after chrooting into /mnt via the installation media but many options are disabled such as start and stop commands. I have also noticed that many changes I make do not seems to make any changes. For examples, I have removed "exec plasma" from ~/.xinitrc however KDE still boots up, I've even attempted black listing Xorg-Server. I would like to know how I can log in to the regular system without Xorg running so I can access the command line and make changes (that will hopefully have an effect).
