Hi, been using Linux mint on my Asus Zenbook Flip UX363EA for a while now but wanted to move up the Linux ladder and want to try NixOS.
I got the 24.05 installer live CD which was mostly fine (couldnt connect to a wireless network but i just bypassed it with usb tether to my phone), and the installation process seems to work.
When the laptop boots i select NixOS and the boot sequence starts, but after a few seconds it flashes text on the screen for a brief moment, then goes onto a black screen with a single underscore in the top left. It is completely unresponsive to any key presses except the power button, which triggers shutdown sequence as expected.
I have tried to set it up with other desktop environments, formatting the installation media with different settings, updated my asus bios firmware, nothing seems to help.
Some weird other things that might be worth mentioning:
- I have had problems connecting to wifi in the installer (as mentioned above)
- I was able to boot into NixOS once, completely randomly, had not changed any settings. after restarting to check if it had fixed itself, it went back to blackscreen
google drive link to a recording of boot (recorded in slow mo so its easier to see the text flicker):

(apologies for the slightly poor quality, the pixel slow mo camera doesnt respond to light very well haha)
Any ideas? Hopefully im not missing anything obvious. Thanks in advance!
