KDE Linux - Black screen (only cursor) after install

Hey,

I just tried installing KDE Linux (kde-linux_202604021841) on an old laptop. The live image worked just fine, as well as the installation and the setup guide. But after that and the KDE Plasma animation I’m stuck with a black screen and just my mouse cursor that I can move around.

CPU: Intel Core i7-3630QM

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M

Boot Mode: UEFI

Secure Boot: Disabled

I also tried booting in low graphics mode (with “nomodeset “), but that didn’t help.

Any ideas on how to fix it?
