Black screen with blinking white bar in top left after fresh install
I'm trying to install bazzite-nvidia-stable on an old dell optiplex with an i7-980 and a 750ti and 8gb of ram (on a fresh samsung 1tb ssd). The install seemed fine (I used fedora media writer to make my bootable usb and confirmed the sha256 checksum of the iso I downloaded from bazzite's site). On first boot it gave the kargs message and then rebooted. On the next boot (and all following) it shows the bazzite logo with the white loading circle and then just goes to a black screen with a white blinking cursor in the top left.
I did some searching for past threads and some suggested going back to the 2024-9-30 build which I'm going to try. But before I do that I was wondering how to try and diagnose the issue better before just running an older version of the installer. It seems similar issues but not exactly the same has been posted here (at least from my quick searches).
EDIT: Forgot to add that I let it sit on that black screen for 30mins just to make sure it wasn't doing anything and I was using the kde version

Solution
Since we have no internet i just did the workaround
sudo rpm-ostree override remove kf6-kimageformats
