Installation trouble
After owning a steam deck for almost a year and enjoying the experience, I've made the decision to switch from windows 11 to bazzite on my main PC, but otherwise I have no experience with linux. I'm having some trouble getting the installer to work. I do have an Nvidia GPU (RTX 3060) and I understand that can be tricky so I wonder if that has something to do with it? Upon trying to boot from the iso USB, I select the "install bazzite" option from GRUB and then I notice a message: "hub8-0:1.0: config failed, hub doesn't have any ports." then after some other text scrolling the screen, I get a blank display and never make it to the installer. Googling I found other users with this message trying to install other distros, but I haven't found an actual solution to fix it.
I have flashed my BIOS with the most recent version, ensured CSM and secure boot or both disabled.
I've tried multiple images of bazzite, initially I wanted to try the image with Steam Gaming Mode but I understand that for Nvidia GPUS that is a beta image so I switched to trying the more stable regular image instead.
I have used both rufus and balenaEtcher to flash my USB stick
I have tried multiple USB sticks
I have tried using multiple USB ports, front, back direct to motherboard, 2.0, 3.0, etc.
Thanks for any help.
My specs:
MAG B650 Tomahawk WIFI
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060
