Laptop Specs below.
ASUS ProArt PX13
Installed latest EOS iso on my partitioned SSD, no issues.
When I rebooted after the installation, it goes to a black screen.
No mouse, no TTY-- nothing.
All of my drivers are up to date, including the GPU.
I didn’t have this issue on my chuwi minibook x, I can only assume this has to do with the Nvidia GPU but I’m not sure how to go about fixing it.
Hoping to avoid reinstalling if possible.

Probably you need to arch-chroot into the installed system and run nvidia-inst as follows:
sudo pacman -Syu --needed nvidia-inst
nvidia-inst
This will make sure you have nvidia-inst available, then probably change the Nvidia drivers to the recommended ones.
See our wiki about how to arch-chroot.

Is it an hybrid? Is amd gpu disabled? ..csm is disabled in bios?
I tried this but unfortunately it didn’t work. Still having the black screen.
Should I try reinstalling?

Can you update the Nvidia driver ?
Yes, the driver was updated through chroot. I also disabled the AMD integrated graphics in case it was an issue.
Disabled the AMD integrated graphics in Windows device manager, no CSM option in the bios.
Not sure what else to do at this point.

Or legacy boot option at boot, in liveusb show fdisk -l
I think my laptop is too new to do legacy boot. From what I’ve seen NVMe drives don’t support it.

Amd should not be a issue since it uses straight amd lnly by switcher uses nvidia..depend how you setup. Showing fdisk -l , wil show which theory does…
Update: Gnome installation worked, KDE Plasma did not.
Can anyone explain why one desktop environment would work over the other? I prefer KDE Plasma and I want to get it working.
Should I make another thread?

Are you using X11 or Wayland ?
Well the thing is I don’t even have a chance to choose between the two. It’s a black screen almost immediately after booting up. I don’t see the login screen.

Can you update the system with chroot ?
I can do it with the live USB. I tried it before to do nvidia-inst but that didn’t work when I tried it.
