That's not sus. You probably just ticked the check box that does it in the installer.

#

Or connected to the Wi-Fi network... idk, can't rember. Smth around those lines.

Unfortunately, I can't provide much support for now, I'm pretty busy. Please provide the output of inxi -Fxxxz here, just in case other volunteers may stumble upon this.

I got this right now after a fresh install, too: I can boot normally, but as soon as I do the updates for the first time and reboot, it does not even show the splash screen on booting and stays black without blinking cursor. I can boot into recovery mode though

#

I made all the updates while intall. There were some more after first reboot. I now separated them into 2 groups "suspicious" to cause something like this and "seems fine", like Firefox. Interestingly it did not matter which update I made, I always get a black screen.

It reacts to the on/off button press though and Ctr+Alt+Del. So it does not seem to freeze completely.

Ok, it boots with "nomodeset".

So I got back to testing. Even if I update anything that has nothing to do with the system, like just Firefox, it does not boot afterwards.
