For some time now I noticed that the live env with calamares won't reach the desktop, if you choose to boot with the open source driver (nouveau) - when loading the dmesssages, it gets to "Reached Target Graphical Interface" and gets stuck on that forever.
I for one prefer to start with that bc then the distro is installed with nouveau in which case I can install whatever nvidia driver I want, after the userspace starts. But if I choose to boot the live env with nvidia driver, then it gets installed with nvidia driver, whether I've chosen nvidia driver or not.

This problem exists in all ISOs I have tried, including the latest one arcopro-v24.11.01-x86_64.iso.
