I ran into a consequence of Fedora doing that. Their installer application crashes when running under an old GTX1060 with Nouveau's nShitia drivers in live USB mode.
Oh is that why that happens? I just thought Nouveau drivers were incompatible with old Nvidia cards.
Maybe they are lol, basically every distro exploded on that old rotbox at some point in a variety of fun ways before I could get something installed except Mint. Well anything Arch based would work too, just isn't a PC that gets used often.
I installed Cachy on a GTX980 PC, but had to use nomodeset, so if you wanna install some distros that are using incompatible drivers in the live ISO give nomodeset a try.
