Laptop completely freezes and enters Kernel Panic during installation.

Hello.
I've been trying to install Bazzite on a 9 year old laptop with very bad specs, in an attempt to stop it from becoming e-waste, even though it already is.

But whenever I try to install the OS, I set up all the settings, give it access to the full "separate" SSD (a different one from my windows SSD) and clear up all the settings. Then when I try to click Begin Installation, it goes through the process but gets stuck at

Deployment starting: /run/install/repo/bazzite-stable (during this period I'm still able to use the mouse and keyboard etc)

Then after about 20 minutes of this, it finally says Deployment finished, installing OS or something like that, but this time, it freezes my entire computer. Not even my cursor moves on the screen, and in another half hour, it enters Kernel Panic mode and asks me to reboot.

I've tried 3 times so far and had the exact same issue. Can somebody please help me?

Thanks.
