    Tried Fedora KDE just recently, and apparently the latest version broke something and you just get a black screen on some laptops, fresh install and all. Found some random ISO someone posted and that one worked, but kinda crazy it’s been over a month that this is known to not work and the official ISO is still borked

      The fix is to use a grubby command to disable rhgb at boot. You can find the fix in the fedora discussion website.

      I don’t know if it’s been officially fixed yet, but I’m holding the update for a laptop until it’s fixed.

        Well one would surely want the pretty boot screen that affords.

        This sounds like an old Nvidia gpu quirk

          Nah, it actually affected my main laptop with a modern amd cpu 😅.
          I’m actually more into seeing what happens with my computer so it’s not an issue for me, but for fedora users like my gf it might be lame to have it boot up to the back screen (she has a laptop with similar specs).
