Description
Dear all,
First of all congratulations for the great job you have done!
I would like to report an installation bug.
By default settings, it is not possible to install any Linux distro.
The installation freeze in the middle.
To do it I have to set on the install boot stuffs like: "nomodeset", "nouveau.modeset=0", "i915.modeset=1", "nvidia-drm.modeset=1", "systemd.mask=mhwd-live.service".
I am an begginner/intermediate user, and as far as I understand it is a bug on the video card modules that causes conflict and freeze.
The computer is ASUS model X550VX with video card nvidia GTX 950 M.
After install, I have to boot with "nouveau.modeset=0".
