So trying to get 26.04 installed on my desktop. Never installed ubuntu on this sytem, but on plenty of other systems in the past. It's got an intel i9-12900k, nvidia asus tuf rtx-4090, 64gb ddr5 6400 memory, 2x2tb nvme storage and another 2tb sata ssd
Upon trying to boot the live usb (made using rufus with the latest 26.04 iso, which also worked fine on my laptop) it just hangs on the splash screen. If I try safe graphics, it also hangs on the splash screen BUT I get the startup sound after a while, and if I do anything like random keys on my keyboard, or unplugging a usb device I get sounds like it is working. Editing the boot options to remove "quiet splash" from the boot I see it getting stuck at "cloud-init-local.service" and it never finishes. I'm not sure if it never finishes, given all the sounds make it seem like its finished booting, or if this is just where the display freezes. I'm not finding a lot of help for this online, it seems anyone else that gets stuck at this specific portion of the boot sequence it's usually for an already installed system after maybe some new hardware or a kernel update or something.
Any help would be appreciated
