Hello All,

I’m new to Fedora and I’ve installed Fedora 31 Workstation using bootable USB prepared with Rufus, everything went just fine until the end of successful installation, then I turned off my laptop and the next day i turned it ON then i got the prompt of booting from Fedora 31 then a black screen although i hear the hard drive spinning, would you please help me to solve this , i really don’t want to go back to windows again, and I’ve no idea what i should do.

Processor : Intel i7-5500U CPU 2.40 GHz
Graphic Card : VGA compatible controller, Intel HD Graphics 5500 (rev 09)

Appreciate your patience.
Regards
Ahmed

   Hi.  Try to boot with “basic graphics”, see this post.  Then do dnf upgrade (better on tty, not in GUI), reboot.  Maybe will help.  Before go to Windowstm, try out CentOS, or Ubuntu, or Arch, or Debian.
   PS: To reach the GRUB prompt try holding the Esc key during boot.
