![]() I managed to install Ubuntu 22.04.2 and that went fine, but after installing the proprietary NVIDIA GPU driver I was again greeted with a black screen and blinking cursor after rebooting. So fine, I'll give plain Ubuntu with GNOME a go. Possibly the NVIDIA driver issue (see next point). (I tried two different USB drives to make sure that it was not some kind of storage issue.) I did eventually get it to install but then it locked up after I entered my password at the login screen after first boot.Īctually tried to boot Fedora-KDE but I got stuck with a black screen and blinking cursor when trying to boot the install media. ![]() I found that kubuntu 22.04.2 locked up whenever I got a few clicks into the installer or when I tried the "Try Kubuntu" button. I wanted to start by trying KDE instead of GNOME. Tried Linux Mint 21.1 first and it installed fine, but I found that Cinnamon is "not there" when it comes to high-DPI support so that experiment ended quickly. I want to use Ubuntu or a derivative mostly because it's what I'm used to - I'm actually pretty familiar with Linux from using it on servers, VMs, and WSL it's just been a looooooong time since I tried to use it as a daily driver desktop OS. I actually had trouble just getting a distro up and running. ![]() This is on my Dell Precision 7770 (full specs in sig). Hoping some more experienced Linux users like and can maybe offer some tips.
