Wanted to try Garuda but I can't login

I have a laptop Asus ROG Strix g531gt with an i7-9750H and GTX1650 and when I type the password to login in the installer and press enter it hangs and I need to restart.
It doesn't matter if I boot with propietary drivers or with open source it happens the same.

Hi there, welcome to the forum.
What is the full iso name that you're using? E. g.: garuda-dr460nized-linux-zen-230409.iso
Where precisely you get the login request? E. g.: you pass the GRUB and get to a login screen? I'm asking because not all the editions use a login in the live iso.
Finally, the iso GRUB shows two fields, keytable and lang. Are you adjusting them or use default us?

Yes I changed them to spanish but this also happens with US.
Login request is after the grub.

I personally cannot help (to try to create an equivalent live USB and test it) in the next few hours.
In the meantime, if you want, you could try downloading the following links.
They are development builds, not official, but you never know....

Change from “Wayland” to “Default” to log in to Qtile.

The Wayland login is set as the initial default for some reason, but it will not work without additional configuration.
