Im trying to get into using linux so that I can leave windows bloated mess but ive tried flashing nobara 37 & 38 to a usb, only reaches the grub screen and then gets stuck on a black screen. ive tried with the fedora workstation distro and it does the same. Then I tried popos and it runs perfectly fine? so im not sure what the issue is. id rather have nobara since its easier OOB to run games

PC spec: AMD ryzen 7700x 32 gb ram rtx 4070

any help or advice would be appreciated. thanks

What is the size of the usb stick you're flashing it onto? Maybe try it again with a bigger usb stick?

it was actually the nvidia drivers that was in the install, had to modify the boot so i can download and install the proprietary drivers. everything is running perfectly smooth now :) i was using a 16gb USB

Good to know you solved your issue. I remember in Nobara 36 I flashed it onto a 4gb stick and it was pretty full. Wasn't sure if the subsequent releases increased in size or not. :p

good to know for future use in case i want to distro hop, doubtful tho since nobara is running smooth for me so far. enjoying my linux experience!
