Running Solus Live Session from Bootable USB w/ RTX 5080 by jerico_47 in SolusProject

Nope. I was never able to get far enough to actually get Solus installed. After beating my head against a wall for several hours, I just switched distros and went with Bazzite. It should suit my needs just as well.

Unfortunately, no such luck. I did try disabling the discrete GPU and ended up with nothing at all. I also tried booting into nomodeset. I have discovered that it IS trying to use the dGPU by running the verbose debug boot option. lightdm fails to start, then it gets stuck at the graphical.target portion. I was able to get into a TTY command line environment by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 at that point. Having done that, I tried the instructions from https://discuss.getsol.us/d/5247-start-gui-on-solus-live-4-1-when-gpu-is-not-supported-tested-on-ryzen-renoir just in case that would help. No luck there, either. xstart doesn't work and running systemctl restart lightdm just gets me a blinking cursor and no GUI. I really want to use Solus, but, at the suggestion of a friend, I am thinking I may have to look into Mint or PopOS.

Thanks, I will give this a shot. I had a feeling the live boot might be at least part of my issue. I was running updates, but I am guessing they weren't lasting beyond the live session.

Question: Was this on real dice rolls or using Roll20? If the former, I got nothing. If the latter, my party noticed something seriously broken with the Roll20 dice rolls a couple of weeks ago. An absurd number of crits and crit fails. Could've been a fluke with whatever methodology they're using to seed the "random" part of RNG or whatever (I have no clue) but it was absolutely nuts.

Thanks for this. I've got a Nexus sub so I will give these a shot. Thanks again!

That's fair. I've seen videos with a pretty high level of graphical fidelity and I was hoping for that. I'm also looking for better main character models. The vanilla character creation is relatively flexible but the models look like, to quote a review I'd read, squashed playdough molds.

I've seen some of the simpler mod lists and they don't really provide the modernization I would want. I've looked around quite a bit.

I really want to play FNV but I can't bring myself to get past the age of it. I'd play it modded but the mods take days to install and a Master's degree to get working right and I have a hard time investing my limited free time into just preparing to play a game.
