After some tweaks, I have managed to get it to display the boot menu. However, when selecting the 'Install Qubes' option, it goes blank after 'launching installer'. When running in limited graphics mode, the same happens. The only visible error before this happens is "dracut-pre-udev[609]: rp.idmapd: conf_reinit: open ("(null)", 0_RDONLY) failed.". I am not sure how significant it is, but there is a lot of OK-looking output before the screen goes blank. When I edit limited graphics mode's options to xdriver=nouveau and remove the nomodeset option, this error is printed to output: "(EE) [drm] Failed to open DRM device for pci ...", followed by X.org exiting with error. Also "Pane is dead". The driver in use is nouveau and according to nouveau's wiki, this error means that the GPU is not supported by the driver. Sure enough, Xorg lists the driver as only supporting cards before GTX400. However, the latest version of nouveau actually supports much newer cards, including GTX1650. This lead me to the thought that perhaps replacing the 4.19.94 kernel with a newer one, which should include a newer nouveau version, could fix this issue.

I am aware of the extrakernels/ directory in the iso's root, but I haven't been able to figure out in which format I should add them there for it to work. Note: I know how to modify the iso, that's not what this question is about. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. > > There was some discussion about that I think in the above thread.

Please read more carefully next time -- "Since I don't have
Google account which seems to be required to view the initial
discussion (as linked in the first post of the thread)".
The first post says "continuing from discussion at [link to Google
groups]" without explaining anything...
Anyways, thank you for the explanation. I am aware of Nvidia GPU's
limitations when it comes to compatibility with Linux, however the
issue here is in Qubes not including the open source drivers, not
the open source drivers working poorly..
