Downloaded latest Q4OS 5.4 Aquarius Plasma/KDE. Laptop is AsusK56CB, windows 10 installed. Previous I had dual boot Fedora39 & Windows10, but wanted dual boot with Q4OS , because "moves" faster than Fedora39... So the USB stick with Q4OS booted, made appropriate partitions, /boot/efi and / ( formatted as BTRFS ) + swap, from "live" run the installer, ....... , everything smooth(choosed autologin). Secure Boot activated on UEFI BIOS, congratulations !!!, some Linux Distros DO NOT BOOT a SecureBoot activated BIOS, yours Q4OS does !!! . GRUB installed correctly, with Windows option entry. Then, yours good Q4OS 5.4 Aquarius Plasma/KDE failed miserably: "can not start GDM login service" , "system error"..... - and freeze laptop .... Would you be curious , that, same USB stick , same Laptop, but with others Linux Distro , such as Fedora39, KUbuntu, SparkyLinux , just simply installed properly, and started in graphical mode ?!!! Yes, you may say , the ISO image of Q4OS downloaded / corrupted ... Well I downloaded at least 3 times on Windows 10 / Fedora39 and Wrote it 2 times , on Windows + rufus and Fedora39 + iso to usb write program(forgot the exact name). Every time after installed Q4OS 5.4 Aquarius KDE version .... exactly the same aforementioned errors !!!! GDM login service can not start + systemd ..... It's such a shame .... Yours Q4OS could be a great LinuxDistro, ok , not money not honey :)) , I understand not to much founding for you , but people can not even start your distro ?!!! All the best

    Would you post a screenshot with disk partitioning please ? Q4OS Plasma also doesn't install GDM by default, so do you know what way GDM has been installed ?

    Well, would you please try to install Q4OS in Virtualbox, so we could decide, if the issue is hardware dependent ?
