* To perform boot into "Safe Graphics" mode, add "nomodeset" parameter to the kernel boot line:
** Power-on the Airtop3 with LiveUSB installer
** Boot menu will appear, default entry will be "Start Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon 64-bit"
** Press [e] to enter edit mode
** Add "nomodeset" after the "splash", the end of line will look like "quiet splash nomodeset --"
** Press [F10] to continue the boot
* You will need to add "nomodeset" option once again, after base installation of Linux Mint and reboot
* The problem will disappear after installing Nvidia graphics card drivers
