Yes it does have hybrid graphics. I also use an external GPU. This occurs with or without the EGPU plugged in.

However, it may be that there was a problem in that specific version of SDDM in that particular daily build. Somehow, someway installing the Ubuntu Gnome desktop system and gdm2 fixed it. Then I did a full upgrade a couple days ago and got a new version of sddm, switched to that and that seems to have fixed it.

The real problem is that a new user when confronted with a utterly BLACK screen won't know to Ctrl alt f6 into a terminal and do things from there. That sort of thing is a typical "why Linux will always be for geeks" moment.
