Hello, I am trying to boot and install Linux mint onto a desktop Intel CPU with Nvidia gpu and I have been sitting here (notice the little white line)for 20+ minutes now. I can boot into compatibility mode and did that successfully and installed but I am not sure if I installed a different version since I booted into compatibility mode (only reason I think this is that it could not detect more than one monitor at a time after install). Do I just have to wait?

Thanks

Solution: in grub screen when selecting what to boot to, press e to edit boot commands and add nvidia-drm.nomodset=1 at the bottom and then continue to boot. You will need to do this once more after installing and rebooting. Then install Nvidia drivers and reboot once more and you are good to go.

    Copied from another page :

    You need to add nomodeset AND nouveau.nomodeset=1 to the boot parameters. While in the grub menu, hit E and then in the line with the boot options, add both of those
