Hello, i downloaded the new dragonised version( not gaming) can anyone plz confirm if the new version is working or not? Im not able to get past the loading screen. I have a pretty poweful pc, yet i waited for 30mins and im stuck at cursor screen.
Anything im doing wrong ? Im not able to find old revisions of kde anyplace online to check it.
I used rufus to flash it to usb.
I tried both open and nvidia boot options, yet no use.
Ik you have secified not to use rufus, i tried to use the tool mentioned on website and i ran into issues as it breaks my pendrive everytime i try to flash it
Any help would be highly appriciated
If anyone could check whats wrong and put me back on path
Thank you 
Rufus often failed, use dd or balena etcher

Ok, as said , i made a bootable usb via balena etcher, and im still still stuck at boot. It just shows up cursor and doesnt proceed. I think my download maybe corrupt, im redownloading it. Will update soon.
Btw i wanted to try gaming edition..the link on the website is broken.plz check it and change it. I says file removed.
Could anyone provide a link for gaming edition?
Thanks

Nobody knows what your PC spec’s are.
Use free driver.

Thanks for the speedy reply, will try a new iso.
I have a doubt, how long does it usually take to boot from the garuda logo at start, to black screen with cursor to the main menue? I have ryzen7 2700x , 16gb ram and gtx 1060 .
Im stuck at black screen with a cursor. And no hitting ESC isnt working.
Ill update the status after i get the new iso.
Almost done downloading
It need ~ 5 min. also on highspeed Hardware, mhwd need up to 4 min. to check and find your hardware and driver.
I reinstalled a new iso, and used a bigger size pendrive, now im inside the desktop. Gorgeous icons ..damnn...
But i came accross a new problem..
I connected my internet and all works fine, but when i click install garuda, i get an error screen saying,
"Calamares Initialization Failed"
Any idea?
