[SOLVED] Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 16ARH7 does not boot after initial install of Fedora 43

This is more of an PSA than a question, if this is not the right place, please move it to appropriate place.

Basically, this laptop has switchable graphics(integrated and nvidia gtx 3050ti) and the issue of not booting started right after installation.

One solution is:

go to BIOS settings, and change from “switchable graphics” to UMA graphics(to not use the GTX graphics). The system will boot.

Then you can upgrade

sudo dnf check-upgrade
sudo dnf upgrade

Then reboot,

After the reboot, you can go to BIOS again and use switchable graphics again.

I am on the 15ACH67 (Lenovo ideapadGaming) and did not have this issue? I think the only difference in models is our CPU? We both have a 3050ti .

Sadly I did have the issue, but the update solved everything.

Thanks for the feedback.
