Unable to boot into the live USB
Hi all! So I wanted to try bazzite, but I am not able to boot into the live-usb. The boot always freezes after
[OK] Finished systemd-vconsole-setup.service - Virtual Console Setup. (yes, it is only one dot at the end, not three like in the lines before. No idea if this matters ^^). It's not just bazzite. I have the same problem with aurora, bluefin and Fedora Atomic. Other distros are no problem to boot into. It works with a virtual machine, but not on my desktop pc. I installed Linux so many times before, but I am out of ideas.
I tried checking the checksum of the iso, multiple usb-keys from different vendors, multiple usb-ports, fedora image writer, impression, ventoy, bazzite, bluefin, aurora, fedora atomic, secure boot disabled, trusted platform module disabled, XHCI is enabled, waiting for an hour while the pc boots did not work either. I am grateful for any ideas!Solution:Jump to solution
Thx, @wolfyreload, but the problem was the same. But, while I was waiting in front of my frozen screen I found the solution on my phone: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/the-installer-and-some-other-apps-might-not-start-on-systems-with-an-nvidia-graphics-card/85747
Long story short: I have Nvidia, so I needed to install in basic graphics mode. And now I am on Bazzite :)...

I'd try Fedora Kinoite (or silverblue if you want gnome) and see if you have the same issue. If that install works. Just rebase to Bazzite (instructions on the Bazzite website on the right of the download button)

Thanks for posting the solution. I wish we could make the fallback graphics the default option, really don't need GPU acceleration in the installer.
Well, the resolution was messy, but better than nothing!
