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.

    Hmm, that’s strange. Can’t think of much else that could prevent that system from displaying anything.

    Since you mentioned safe graphics work, can you try enabling the automatic login for your user in GNOME/KDE so the login screen gets skipped?

    If that doesn’t work: After booting in normal mode, wait a little bit until it should be at the login screen and then hit Ctrl + Alt + F6 a few times. Does a terminal appear on your screen?
