LiveUSB boot issues on Latitude 7490 requiring i915.modeset=0 to avoid earlier crash can't get past "[OK] Finished LiveMedia Keyring setup."

I have in the past successfully installed Manjaro using i915.modeset=0. If I don't use that option or general nomodeset it crashes with a fuzzy rainbow screen before "welcome to Geruda" during boot. I turned off fastboot and secure boot. I have a bios password/ I have tried boot with open source drivers. Windows is installed on the laptops SSD which I would wipe if I can get Geruda LiveUSB or installer running.

I have seen Install stuck at “Finished LiveMedia Keyring setup.” and Garuda Linux Live USB Stuck on "[OK] Finished LiveMedia Keyring Setup" (230111 Dragonized-Gaming) but the second was resolved by simply using open source driver which I started with and all of these discuss NVIDIA GPUs which I only have an intel integrated.

I am looking for something arch based but with lots of tools (like kernal version changer/updater, pacman, etc) but without the manjaro two week arch repository disconnect maybe this is not the right distro for a laptop without a dedicated gpu and only used for light gaming.

Here are some reference images, I am not sure if you want to me OCR them as you seem to have some rules about posting images with text or something.

Edit: I Figured out that if its the intel integrated gpu that is the problem maybe I have a power state issue in which I changed i915.modeset=0 to i915.enable_dc=0. this may increase power use slightly so its not ideal. This however allowed successful boot and I am now going to do a extended/stress test of the liveusb to ensure stability. I still have questions on why this is required or if other better solutions exist.

Post garuda-inxi from live ISO as text, no pictures, please.

Should I do something to clean up the copy paste job?

I installed and am no longer running on LiveCD. I need to add i915.enable_dc=0 to grub after I restart following first update I have just done.

Edit: I have restarted the machine after first installing and updating and have noticed that Garuda Assistant does not have superuser in its inxi page. do you want anything with that?

No, sudo inxi maybe show private data.

Please restart.

Use always

garuda-update

in terminal.

So do I just add i915.enable_dc=0 to /etc/default/grub then sudo update-grub and then call it good do you think? I guess I haven't tried starting without manually adding that using press "E" in the startup options on garuda installed directly instead of on liveusb, but honestly it is scary when it crashes with a rainbow static and IDK could it damage my install? I wouldn't think so but it really do be scary. I can't find any advice as to why I need that option or if better solutions exist.
