Hey there,
I'm trying to install Manjaro i3 (tried the official builds with GNOME and XFCE as well to make sure its no i3-build-related issue) on my DELL XPS 9300 (Running an i7-1065G7 CPU with Intel OnBoard Graphics).
During live boot and after installation I'm experiencing heavy issues with the graphics. After booting, but before showing the login mask the screen remains black and sometimes even a kernel panic occurs (blinking caps lock dot). The error seems to be tied to the i915 graphics drivers and I've read several threads about this family of issues and tried several solutions that were offered e.g. kernel downgrade to 5.4 and even to 4.9 LTS.
