"driver: nouveau" suggests some progress may have been made. Have you tried booting without nomodeset along with appended plymouth.enable=0? The attempt to install NVidia could have left blocking debris in /etc/modprobe.d/, /etc/X11/, either /etc/X11/xorg.conf, or one or more files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. Anything in the latter with 50-, monitor, device or screen in the name we need to see the content of, or simply rename them something that doesn't end in .conf. This could be a problem with SDDM (though slight). You can switch from SDDM to LightDM in YaST login manager(?) to see if behavior from LightDM avoids the black screen. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
