I have enjoyed using Linux Lite until a recent update. I have a Intel I9 processor and Nvidia RTX 2070 video card. I recently upgraded my drives to all NVME and now I cannot install Lite with USB of latest release. I have tried several attempts, downloaded the current ISO several times and recreated the USB install. Everything seems to install correctly until I reboot and get nothing but a black screen and blinking cursor. Other Debian, Ubuntu, and even Arch distro work fine. What is up with this?
Thanks

Black screen blinking cursor usually is indicative of incorrectly configured video. You say Debian worked, do you mean you installed Debian and the installation booted through to the GUI for you after installation? If so, how did you install the nvidia package and set up the video card? Same applies to Linux Lite. Ctrl Alt F2, install nvidia drivers that match your card, systemtctl restart lightdm.
