Very much regular. I downloaded the iso from the websites and answered things as I was asked. After I posted this it got past that and asked some more questions ending with dark or light theme. Now it stops at a screen with a flashing cursor top left corner, all black, like x isn't running at all

Ah, ok, so you ran first-setup already.
Try to select "Gnome" in the bottom right corner on the screen where you type your password.

Could it be that the entire disc encryption is breaking it because it's expecting some hardware feature that's not present because it's on a virtual machine? I'm not even getting to the login screen now.

Was not using the encryption an option during the installation? I don't remember. I didn't make any other choices besides light or dark theme, time zone, and keyboard layout.
I enabled UEFI, gave it a 50 gig disc, and 8 gigs of ram.
The installation did ask if I wanted to install VM tools which I of course agreed to

Vanilla os only encrypts the var partition which has the users data not the root partition. Confused me at first too, also still not 100 sure if it's a good idea 🤔
