Hello! I'm new to Linux and I've been wanting to try and use it for gaming purposes and after searching which one is best, I found Nobara suitable for me, after watching some tutorials. I ended up running on a problem. For some reason Nobara just can't boot after pressing enter on Test on media > Run Nobara 43. It does it's thing before saying that it failed? And then shuts down my entire PC. Can anyone help??

Just to add more notes, I'm switching from Linux Mint, and my computers specs are NVIDIA 50 Series, AMD Ryzen 5. At least that's what I think that I only need to list, feel free to tell me on what to add more onto this.

Welcome.
It looks like you are trying to boot a live disk of nobara, but it's failing. This suggests an issue with the iso file on the media. In that case, the iso is best checked using the sha256sum checksum about which details can be found here: https://wiki.nobaraproject.org/en/new-user-guide-general-guidelines. After the checksum shows no issues with the iso, then that issue can be discounted as a problem, but it really needs to be eliminated as an issue.

Nobara actually appear to recommend using ventoy which is mentioned on this page: https://nobaraproject.org/download.html, so that's worth considering.

There's also a consideration in relation to downloading isos for handling intel, amd and nvidia, so that's probably worth a bit of research too.
