Can't boot / install "black screen"

I finally managed to boot Garuda Linux and install it.
I used the Garuda KDE Dr460nized non gaming version.

I also disabled an option in my BIOS related to the graphics part.
It seems I used the proprietary Nvidia drivers version but I have a doubt.

Is there any way to check this?
I am a beginner on Linux...

I will provide screenshots of my BIOS a little later.

Thanks to all !

Provide the output of garuda-inxi from the installed system and it will be clear.
Formatted as text, no pictures please.

By any chance are you installing Garuda Gaming edition? If so, install the regular edition. I'm using what appears to be the same kingston USB stick and I have a similar setup. The gaming edition will not work on my computer but the regular one will. Have you tried any of the other Garuda editions?

Yes there it is :slight_smile:

Indeed I was trying to install the Gaming version.

I tried by chance the Wayfire version, I launched the boot and nothing... I went to make a coffee and when I came back I had booted on the system.

So I tried the non-gaming version and that's what I installed and what I use.

Perfect, you’re with proprietary drivers.
