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.

    Try switching to X11, see if the issue persists.

    Also which screen size options does your monitor see? In my experience it could act problematic with high refresh rate 4K displays, try reducing them until it feels fine.

      In safe graphics my resolution is locked on 1024*768 at 60hz, I have a 1080 144 hertz monitor.

      And it looks like changing to x11 didn’t fix anything.
