* If you encounter image flickering or are not able to get past a black screen, it might be worth pressing the <Escape> key at the blue screen, which appears for a second before the normal boot process starts. You'll be presented a short menu, at which you can directly press tab, then just add the ''nomodeset'' argument in the appearing line, and then boot by pressing the <Enter> key.
