Cannot boot into Bazzite installer regardless of what I try
I have been trying for a while to get Bazzite installed, but despite setting everything correctly as far as I can tell, I cannot get into the installer. I originally posted this on reddit and was pointed here, being told it was likely because I am using an RX 580. However that doesn't make sense considering the issue with Polaris revolves around Gamescope, and not getting it installed to begin with. The system I am using has a Ryzen 3 1200, RX 580, 16GB of RAM, and a Gigabyte A320M motherboard. I have tried multiple USB sticks, and even swapping GPU's to my RX 5700XT that I took out of my main desktop. CSM Support is disabled, and Secure Boot is also disabled. The farthest I can get is the boot selection screen where you choose between Installing Bazzite-40, testing and then installing, and then troubleshooting. I have also tried booting into the installer with basic graphics mode and nothing I do produces a different result. I have also tried installing Fedora and then rebasing to Bazzite, but I am then unable boot into Bazzite when I select it in the bootloader. The specific options I chose when downloading as of today are "Home Theater PC" > "AMD" > "KDE" > "Yes" (to gaming mode). For what its worth, I have also tried using ChimeraOS on this system which does install, but then does not get past the BIOS screen as it locks up. At this point I have tried many things and cannot figure out how to progress. Any help is greatly appreciated
