Hi.
The boot seems to do just right, the splash image is shown - but after that, there is the black screen with an underscore character in upper left corner blinking, and it stays like that indefinitely.
At first, I taught it could have being Ventoy messing up. But after I flashed the iso image onto a usb stick (used Ballena etcher on Linux Mint). But same result.
I've also noticed that other distros that is based on Debian has same issue on this computer. Emabuntus and sparkylinux 7.2 is tested (on Ventoy only).
ISO image
Code:
sha256sum debian-live-12.2.0-amd64-mate.iso
efa5a0be3b9e4d837fa95b5cd88931b2609fce4c03b89bdda175160d87068212 debian-live-12.2.0-amd64-mate.iso
Video clip
Sorry for bad quality (camera failed to properly focus), but at least it gives a sense where it stops (better than me explaining)

Edit while writing this: I should test using the 12.4 iso images and see if those work better.
[Edit]
The 12.4 iso image was working without issues on the same computer. Problem solved
