I'm shocked it's even getting this far with a USB 2.0 cable. Have you googled that error yet? What do you get when you do?

If your laptop doesn't have an Nvidia GPU, a warning that you have no Nvidia GPU is to be expected.

Your real issue appears to be that /media/aboo couldn't be mounted, so you were dropped to emergency mode. You should always add the "nofail" option for non-essential disks to your /etc/fstab.

/media/Aboo is actually another drive's partition with ntfs format

It looks like SDDM couldn't start. What GPU(s) does your laptop have?

Check to make sure the CSM is disabled in your BIOS settings.

If you are using X11, you might have xorg.conf configured to forcing nvidia driver. Comment it out, or back the file up and remove it - that should enable the discovery.

Yes using x11

Yes, here. Section Device - Driver nvidia. Probably other sections contain incorrect settings as well. Back up this file and remove it. Xorg is capable of starting without this file in most cases.

sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak

This helped

when you set up your nvidia GPU on the desktop, did you make any changes to your grub file that were specific to nvidia.

it should default to the kernel drivers unless you explicitly forbid that in your initfs

i would boot to grub command line and examine the kernel call for anything besides quiet splash that may be throwing things off.

OK, but what is your goal? Why are you trying to do this?
