(Solved)q4os-3.13-x64.r1 KDE Plasma. Boot ends in command line prompt.

I would like to install q4os-3.13-x64.r1 KDE Plasma on my tower computer, but am unable to for some reason... The GUI apparently fails at boot.

Here are the basic specifications:

Motherboard: AsusTek Prime Z390-A
Processor: 8-core Intel Core i9-9900KS Kaby Lake
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

When I try to run startx at the command prompt, I get an xinit server error. Not very informative.

Vanilla Debian Buster USB install media will not work with the graphic installer, but the ncurses installer works fine. Is there a Q4OS ncurses installer and how do I start it?

——

Workaround for Q4OS:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install nvidia-driver

Do not try to reconfigure the monitor. X.org will start automatically. Configure your language. While screen resolution will be minimal, it should be decent enough to run the installer. Everything seems to proceed normally, but I did not actually complete an install as I already have a vanilla Debian Buster system.
