I'm trying to install Garuda Mokka on my system with an NVIDIA GPU, and I'm running into a black screen issue. I created a bootable USB using Rufus and tried Ventoy, which finally gave me a grub-like interface. I could see the ISO, but when I tried to boot, it didn't work. I pressed 'E' to access the grub editor and saw a line that said "Setp par garuda-mokka-linux-zen". I added 'nomodeset' at the end of that line based on some advice I found, but after pressing F10 to boot normally, I ended up staring at a black screen again. I've even tried Cachy OS, but I keep hitting this wall. Previously, I used Nobara Linux without any issues until my SSD died from a power surge. What can I do to fix this?

After you hit F10, what did you actually see on the screen? Are you able to access anything in the grub editor to remove the terms 'quiet' and 'splash'? Those can sometimes cause issues with initializing graphics properly.
I faced a similar issue when installing Linux Mint. What worked for me was using a different USB drive that was new and authentic. Also, make sure to check the integrity of your installation files using a CHECKSUM to rule out any corruption.
It seems like you're getting the Grub menu, which is a good start. Have you tried accessing the boot options directly? Also, check if there's a specific menu entry for Garuda Mokka—it sometimes helps to try another entry if available.
