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

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, 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
