So I have a new installation of fedora, which I reinstalled because gdm would freeze and prevent me from logging in and using my computer. I then noticed the same problem on the new installation. I noticed that using an older kernel worked, but system upgrades will break gdm again. I don’t want to have to never update my system. New distro? Suggestions to fix this? I ideally want an relatively bleeding edge distro.

    A quick search revealed that others have experienced issues that may be related. In order to disclose that this is different from the issue reported by others, please consider the following:

    After updating to the latest kernel, shut off instead of reboot. After which you turn your device back on. If strict adherence to ‘rebooting’ like this prevents the issue from coming up, then it’s likely the aforementioned known issue with the latest generation of AMD GPUs and recent kernel updates.

    Please consider to report back on your findings.

      I’ve tried rebooting it like that. I have a latest gen and GPU so that may be it

        Thank you for the reply!

        I’ve tried rebooting it like that.

        And…, what’s the result? Does the problem persist? Or is it resolved? (Under strict adherence to rebooting as described*)
