Description
### Kernel
?
### Desktop Environment / Window Manager
KDE Plasma
### CPU
Amd ryzen 1600
### GPU / Driver
Nvidia GTX 1070
### Description
Error on install with default settings.
### Steps to Reproduce
Install cachyos-desktop-linux-260426.iso with the defaults
### Expected Behavior
It would install the bootloader or at least tell me an understandable error message and maybe give me an option to try some workaround (maybe a different bootloader).
### Actual Behavior
Incomprehensible error message.
Only option, start over, guessing at what to do differently.
