Status:

Computer 1:
Ryzen 5 2600
GeForce 1660 TI
16 GB RAM

Booted into live cd fine, followed steps got a working install.

Computer 2:
Ryzen 5 5600X
GeForce 1660 TI
32 GB RAM

Locks up after loading “Plymouth” (Which I believe is Wayland loader right?)

I used the same ISO on both, the official X11 linked on the main page.

To get the second computer working, I just moved up the steps in the process.

  1. From ISO Grub menu select Advanced Options Then boot to the CLI
  2. type live and press enter
  3. Type startx /usr/bin/startplasma-x11
  4. Install to your hardware
  5. Reboot
  6. From the hardware install GRUB select Advanced Options then boot into the CLI
  7. Log in to your user
  8. Type startx /usr/bin/startplasma-x11
  9. I first run the updater, add the extra/non-free repos
  10. reboot
  11. From the hardware install GRUB select Advanced Options then boot into the CLI
  12. Log in to your user
  13. Type startx /usr/bin/startplasma-x11
  14. install the NVIDIA drivers from the Welcome menu
  15. reboot into your system

UPDATE:

On the second system, I’m still getting some strange behavior after that final reboot. In the middle of installing an application it black screened back to the log in.
