I just tried to install pikaos (first KDE, then GNOME), and both times after first boot and being asked to reboot, the screen would "freeze" at login, with neither keyboard or mouse working (when it worked fine on first boot and refind). Now after powering off and on again nothing boots, my monitor won't even switch off auto power-saving mode. I don't know what else I should provide for this, just that I'm a newbie to linux in general (only 1 month on mint on a laptop before this), specs being GTX 1050ti, i5-7400, 8gb ram
