Hi
I recently brought a new Acer Predator Helios 300 and I tried to install KDE neon on it. I was successfully able to install it but after booting up I get stuck at the splash screen...the system kind of freezes rhere and doesn't move forward...it never happened in my older laptop....I tried searching for other answers but none of them really helped me fix it...can someone guide me to fix this? Pls

Have you solved your problem yet? If not, let me relate a similar problem that I had: I had changed my splash screen to the bicycle wheel picture and after that (or maybe in conjunction with the latest system update, I wasn't sure) I would get a splash screen that was frozen except that my mouse still worked. My user name had been placed in the correct place but I could not click on the passwd field so that I could enter my passwd. I solved the problem by booting into the recovery mode and from there selected to continue with a console. in the console I was able to log in, performed another update (there wasn't anything to update). Then I went to system settings and changed the splash back to the original blue screen. Shutdown and re-booted. Everything works fine now!

Hopefully this will help you if you are still having a problem.

Hi, I bought the same laptop and am facing the same issue while trying to boot via a live image. Could you please guide me step-by-step for the above process.
Thank You.
