bazzite-gnome-nvidia-stable (Can't install)
I been having some issues trying to install Bazzite-NVIDIA. I was able to reach the GRUB bootloader screen but when I tried to install Bazzite a few lines appeared stating about
"Can not find tocblock" and that it couldn't find paths. So I proceeded to check the hash for the iso file with the hash file and there is a mis-match. Is the file corrupted? Because I tried to use Rufus and Fedora Media Writer to install it, I even tried changing from GPT to MBR and the results are the same.

So I just found out the solution to getting passed the Grub bootloader, I was finally able to get to the installer by going into troubleshooting and then I selected "Install with basic graphics". Now it's installing!

A few things to check:
1) First do a checksum on the ISO image (I usually use 7zip to do this and compare it to the checksum provided next to the download button on the Bazzite website)
2) You might have a faulty USB drive, have you tried a different USB flash drive?
3) If you are using Rufus, try Ventoy or Etcher or Fedora Media Writer for creating the USB
4) If the image is fine, when you boot Bazzite try and select the "Install bazzite" option rather than the "test this media" option but only do that if you have done a checksum and that's fine

I'll try 7zip when I get home. So far quickhash is what I used to compare hashes.
As for the iso, I checked the hash of the iso file while it was in my downloads folder, so the different hash couldn't be caused by the USB drive, however I haven't tried a different USB drive for the installation process so I'll probably give that a whirl, the USB drive I used is fairly new and was purchased a few weeks ago. But it's always a possibility that it could be faulty.
The media creation tools I tried using so far is Rufus and Fedora Media Writer, I haven't tried Ventoy or Etcher yet but due to the nature of the issue, I don't really think it's caused by the media creation tools as the issue is consistent using both tools.
Lastly, I tried both "Install Bazzite" and "Test and Install Bazzite" options and they both resulted the same problem. The only conclusions I come to is the following; The USB drive is faulty or the file is corrupt upon download.
