Linux

I'm a long time AMD user both my GPU and CPU. I have a powerful enough PSU and a b550m-plus mobo.

I'm looking to do gaming, light AI work, computer programming, running Docker server services.

I have a Radeon 6900xt, but it doesn't work well with Linux anymore. amdgpu fails to load, and I can only boot by adding nomodeset to my boot entry.

With ArchInstall I even tried reformatting with xfs, ext4, btrfs, without encryption, with and without LVM, selecting both ATI OS drivers for all GPUs, and drivers for AMD gpus, with systemd-boot and grub.

Even Fedora on USB only boots with nomodeset.

Windows seems to boot fine.

I assume it may be a problem with system reading the drivers from the GPU.

I have onboard HDMI for graphics, but I've never got it working.

tbh, my 6900XT was too powerful anyways. I do game in 4K with my 55" TV on the highest settings, but it seems I was still barely using the GPUs full potential.

Funny enough, I seem to have had more problems with high end GPUs in the past than low end GPUs.
