Is there any way to install Ubuntu 18.04 on Dell Alienware Aurora R11 (fitted with Nvidia 2080Ti GPU). Whenever I try to install 18.04 in it I end up getting a black screen (which I think is because of the graphics driver). Shown in this image. I am not able to really figure out what the problem is. I was able to flawlessly install Ubuntu 20.04 in it, but failed while installing 18.04. Any source of information/work around would be of great help to me. Thanks in advance.

Do you see the grub menu when you boot up? If so you can temporarily edit the grub startup line by pressing e and add the kernel option nomodeset and boot with the modified entry.

Assuming it boots o.k. you can then install the proprietary nvidia drivers.

Here is a topic about it.
