    I had to nothing special with the F key cheat codes to arrive to this point. Updating my kernel was done through cli-aptiX. After my install.
    No black screen for me. Did you md5sum check your iso before install?

    Tips and tricks are for users that have already found a solution on how to overcome a problem or run a application. It is not for questions. I have moved questions in tips and tricks to New User because of that. If I misunderstood you grub sentence. Sorry. Maybe you got hit by the spam filters here on that thread.

    Also. What version of AntiX are you running? Post the output of

    inxi -Fxzr

    Edit: starting to wonder if your laptop has one of dual video graphics chips. One on the processor. The other on the board. Like Intel and Nvidia.
    That is why I am asing for the inxi readout. Easy way out is to disable ncvidia chip in bios. And just roll with the intel chip.

    2nd edit: I saw your grub thread on how to section. Your thread is AOKAY there. I am just having trouble trying to trash the double post there.
