Hey y’all.
I tried installing garuda today, in my case the “gaming edition”
However at the start the whole system freezes.
It says: starting system
I’m trying to install it on a hp OMEN 16.
Hello Nijiua and welcome =)
how did you created the usb drive and which system and Software we had many trouble and solved it. Please more infos about youre tryings=)
Try booting with Open Source drivers.
I’ve been having issues with NVIDIA drivers lately.
Also do not use Ventoy, I have seen that cause issues sometimes and welcome
Also be sure to double check if your ISO’s SHA256 checksum is correct.
Thanks 
I’ve created the usb via balena etcher, it’s a 128gb usb 3 drive.
System shows its version 255.x.x. (don’t know the exact number by heart)
I tried installing the KDE Dr460nized variant. I’ve tried installing though the Nvidia and regular installation
Cheers
balena etcher is not good anymore cause me errors too.(i used years ago)
yes new ventoys too. @cybertheworm
agree @tbg

Alright, so we’ll use another image writer.
And how do I check the sha256 checksum?
I’m running windows 11.
On Windows you can use a compressor like 7zip, right click on the iso file and in the context menu you will see CHC SHA and there you choose SHA 256. The number that it will give you must EXACTLY match the one on the ISO.
Ventoy works fine again thanks for the hint @SGS . Load on GRUB2 too.maybe i used rufus few times also.
