Bazzite wont boot after install
Hey everyone!
I'm brand new to Linux and I'm trying to install Bazzite on my desktop, but I'm not able to get it to boot into the OS after a supposed successful install. It just hangs on the loading screen after selecting "Bazzite (ostree:0) from the Grub menu
UPDATE: I thought I had a fix for this and marked my previous thread as resolved. But I thought the fix was not using my 32:9 monitor and instead using my 16:9. As after I did that for whatever magical reason my PC auto rebooted while sitting waiting for bazzite to load and then I noticed there was a new entry in the Grub menu for "ostree:1" and then bazzite finally worked. I wanted to try this again so I got back to my previous state, by reinstalling windows, launched the Bazzite installer, opted to wipe the drive again, installed, all using my 16:9 monitor, but now its back to hanging on boot after selecting "ostree:0".
Heres all the relevant information I can think to give:
- My desktop had Windows on it but I opted for a clean install and selected "delete all" on my OS drive and proceeded with the install.
- I've ensured the CSM and Secure Boot are disabled in my bios before installation
Hardware:
- Ryzen 7 7800
- Nvidia RTX 3080TI
Troubleshooting steps:
- I've reinstalled multiple times.
- Tried with secure boot enabled and disabled.
- I recreated the install media with the official Fedora Media creation tool. I first did it with Rufus.
- I've tried overriding the GUI launch to get to a terminal by modifying what I think to be the Grub launch commands (i'm sorry I know nothing of this stuff lol) by appending the "linux ($root)/ostree/.... line with ' 3' but that didnt seem to do anything. I've tried using ctrl+alt+f2, while it seems to be loading the GUI, to get to it the terminal but that just causes it to lock up.
All of these things are stuff I'm finding in forums and youtube videos but I'm nothing I try seems to get me anywhere. Any help would be amazing! Thanks all!

Solution
ok... I guess just posting in here is good luck for me. I guess adding "nomodeset" at the end of the "linux.... " command in grub fixed it. Thanks all!
