I had Windows running and tried to install fedora workstation to the same ssd windows is running. I ran into 2 issues…
Ryzen 5 2600 & 1660 Super Nividia GPU
-
Problem:
90% of the time I try to start up my PC it will show me fedora login screen and then turn off the screen (it’s not suspended or inactive - moving mouse and keyboard doesn’t change anything) I suspect some issues with the graphic driver (I am running a 1660 super from nividia)
Also sometimes I don’t even get to see the login screen as the screen just turns black. And somtimes it’s very laggy like 3 fps. However sometimes it works and I am for e.g. logged in without any laggs…
-
Second Problem:
is that I can’t boot back into windows since the grub menu doesn’t show any windows boot option: I was wondering if I have the same issue as this fellow guy
but I am too bad at terminal to be sure.
sudo fdisk -l returns the following:
Problem 1: Did you install the rpm-fusion repos and follow the guide there to install the proprietary nvidia drivers? You say sometimes it works, but is laggy, which would make me think it’s using the open source nouveau drivers (which are ultimately useless for anything but 2D rendering at minimal Hz and FPS).
Problem 2: Will require someone with more knowledge about dual booting than me (I have none).

I tried installing the new drivers using this tutorial but now after rebooting the same issuses presist. Some times it works (after 3 tries) and most often it doesn’t…
Please post the entire output of sudo fdisk -l using preformatted text (</>) rather than a screenshot. You’ve clipped off some important output by posting a trimmed screenshot.

Post the output of inxi -Fzxx, again using the preformatted text button in this text box - </>
You may need to install inxi using sudo dnf install inxi if the command is not found.

So I tried to reinstall fedora workstation and while using the usb-installation I get almost the same laggy experience (at least the screen doesn’t turn black – well nvm shortly after I took the pictures down below it turned black )
I noticed that after only enabling uefi in the bios boot section I also didn’t see windows in grub – is this right?
Also what folders do I have to remove to reinstall fedora since the reinstalling fedora option doesn’t work:
checking the Media returns this:
To reinstall in uefi mode it would be necessary to remove the partitions created with the initial installation. I believe that is nvme0n1p5, p6, & p7. Then do a new clean installation.
removal of those partitions is easy from within the installer. Open a text window before beginning the installation then use gdisk to delete those partitions.
It would then not be a reinstall but instead a new installation.
It looks like you chose to test the install media after it had been inserted into a windows machine (which alters the device slightly and causes the test failure as you show in the 3rd image). This is relevant Install media sometimes fail media check at 4.8%
You will need to recreate the usb device and then do not reconnect it to the system while windows is booted. The installation should then work properly if you just boot the media and select the ‘Troubleshooting → basic graphics’ mode to boot (in uefi mode).

deleting the Partions nvme0n1p5, p6, & p7 and doing a new clean installation did the trick. For making it booting in efi I went to the bios and set efi only
Now I was able to boot into windows
However after booting into fedora I still get this weird laggyness – I wasn’t able to finish the setup getting a frozen screen and on the second try not even into fedora. In the third try I made it till the select region before getting a black screen

I still encounter the laggyness
When having multiple issues it is best to open a thread for each issue so the conversation is focused solely on that problem.
I suggest that you open a new thread solely based on the lagging. There are also several other threads that indicate lagging and it is possible one of them may provide a solution.
