This part made me chuckle

I know you’re an understaffed small startup that is struggling

As I am sure the poster is well aware the Nvidia is a Five Trillion Dollar company.

I am a bit surprised by Ubuntu 25.04 being listed.

If the Kernel and the Nvidia Drivers in the repos cannot support the 5080 - then even "Safe Graphics" (which is nomodeset) will not work.

Have you tried any Late release or Rolling Release distros like Fedora to see if they work?

When I had this issue on my HP desktop it was an acpi problem.

The solution for me was to edit the grub menu. Hit the E key when the menu comes up.

Then arrow down to the row that ends with “quiet splash”. Insert acpi=irq so it reads “quiet splash acpi=irq” then hit F10 to boot.

No promises that this will work for your situation but worth trying. If not some of the others who are more experienced will chime in.

Thank you for your reply.
Yes I have already tried
Linux Mint 22.2 'Zara';
Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS;
Ubuntu 25.10 (daily builds),
Pop!_OS

and dozens of kernel options with chatgpt

linux /casper/vmlinuz maybe-ubiquity nvidia-zorin quiet splash nomodeset nvidia.NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222" ---

But the only distro that was able to at least get past the loading screen was Bazzite — but it’s not suitable for me as very closed distro.

The Card is relatively new. So, it could be tricky to get good Support for it now. You could try it with installing the newest stable Kernel over Mainline:

and combine that with the newest Nvidia Driver.
