I just bought the pro version for Zorin Os 17.1 and I can't install it on my new laptop Lenovo Yoga Pro 9 16IMH9 for the life of me.
I made 4 bootable USB devices (thought the usb drives might be damaged?) using the official instructions via balenaEtcher, I tried all 3 installation options:
Try or install Zorin OS
Same but with Safe Graphics
Same but with Newer Nvidia Cards.
Regardless of the option I chose, the screen stays black, nothing else happens.
This laptop has an RTX 4070 GPU and an Intel Ultra 9 185H CPU, I tried other linux distributions and they all work (Ubuntu and Linux Mint).
Any idea of what else I could try ?
Also, I ran the checksum and it checks out and did all the steps mentioned here:
Short update:
I thought I'd give another version a try, so made a bootable Zorin 16.3 Core. This one boots fine and I can perform the installation. But as soon as I reboot after the installation completes, the screen stays black and there's just a white dot or small bar at the top left side of the screen, it doesn't blink or do anything, just stays like that and nothing else happens....
I could get into TTY/CLI, seems I'm using Nvidia Driver 535, and shortly after typing in "nvidia-smi" to get the GPU/driver details I was spammed with the same message, please see the attached photos:
Forgot to mention that this happens in Zorin OS 16.3 Core, which I've just installed in order to determine whether my USB drives work or not, in the end I still intend to use the 17.3 Pro version - which can't even be installed.
