For the first time I am actually switching my main PC from Windows to Linux.
Problem: When booting into Fedora there was no display output, I changed it to safe graphics to install everything and that fixed it but after the install finished I tried turning it back off and there was still no display output
What I have already tried: I’ve tried installing drivers and everything I could find although that shouldn’t be the problem since I have an AMD 6700xt and Fedora comes with AMD drivers built in. I also tried Installing Linux Mint thinking maybe the distro was the problem but it came up with the same issue.
And if anyone suggests it no there is no way I am going to daily drive on safe graphics.
Edit: I am dual booting on a single 500gb ssd with windows already installed on the other half of the drive, not sure if that would be the problem. Also a similar problem was happening on windows if I left the screen in login for too long without signing in the display would show no signal and it wouldn’t wake up if I moved my mouse or clicked or pressed any keys.
Could you try any other display to rule out things like EDID issues?
yeah I tried using another display and switching out the display cable didn’t help at all.
Try using Bazzite, it’s based on Fedora and it’s geared towards ease of use, it comes pre-configured with great defaults. That’s why I believe it might work for you. bazzite.gg
If that doesn’t work, make sure you’re plugging the cable to the GPU and that the GPU is set as main display output in the bios.
Bazzite has the same issue. Still no display output. And yes I’m sure my hdmi cable is plugged since it still works with safe graphics on and windows works perfectly with no issues.
Can you check if the iGPU works ?
Yeah I’ve seen this distro seams really good and my main use case is gaming. I will give it a go.
