From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Were you able to move on from the interim fix with "safe graphics" btw?
I'm stopping by only at this time cause I came in from your "get better at [arch]" post.
Have you checked if your BIOS has some proprietary stuff that restricts it to use only particular hardware? If nah, ignore me, my bad.
Not the same situation but similar - I bought a former school desktop pc & had blank display issues. The pc wouldn't accept using a different hdmi cable other than the first one I'd ever booted it up with - and even then, it would hang on the mobo logo. No one said turning off secure boot was a fix, but suggested it often enough that I checked the bios anyway. Lo and behold, there were multiple proprietary "security" features (not secure boot) in the bios that only allowed the pc to connect to approved devices or networks. Makes sense for a school/business. I didn't care to find out how to whitelist "approved devices", so I just turned off all the BIOS's fancy security features.
No nothing worked for me I think it's pretty much a lost cause I'll sell my old 6700xt and I might get an arc a770 It'll be a good upgrade from my 1660 and it will be fun to try something new. It also has the most vram of any gpu for the price which will be good for running ai models.
