I bought a new laptop with an nvidia rtx 4070 dgpu and i was trying to install Q4OS Plasma (based on debian + kde plasma) and ran into a problem.
I then downloaded the current debian + kde live cd and basically ran into the same issue.
If booting from the debian live cd it halts at this point:If i press Ctrl + Alt + F3 and then type startx it loads the desktop and i can install debian.
After the installation the problem persists.
I tried different methods for Q4OS and Debian to install nvidia drivers but it did not work.
The problem either persists or the system becomes completely unusable:
I'm pretty sure this can be fixed but i dont know what to do from here.
Linux Mint works out of the box but i really want Debian + KDE Plasma. (Ideally Q4OS)

2. Now press Ctrl + Alt + F3 and wait for the terminal (tty3) to show up viewtopic.php?t=155493
3. Type "startx" and press Enter, now the desktop should show up
4. Use the Graphical installer to install Q4OS

10. Right click the .run file and make executable
11. Open Terminal and execute 1. "sudo apt update" then "sudo apt install build-essential" then "sudo apt-get install manpages-dev" Source: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-instal … debian-10/
12. Open Terminal and execute "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)" https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comment … tallation/

9. Open Terminal and execute "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" then add line "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware" and save (probably not needed in Q4OS, stock debian only)
10.Open Terminal and execute "sudo apt update" then "sudo apt install nvidia-driver firmware-misc-nonfree"
11. Reboot
--> Does not work (same result for stock debian) and if trying Ctrl + Alt + F3 & startx it returns:
