What's this?

Trying to get help with my Linux issues (again)


I built my current machine early last year to be a Linux machine, but for some odd reason, my Radeon RX-590 wouldn't display. I also can't do a normal load software load, although my Linux version and all drivers are "up to date." I had to run in protected mode. I punted by buying a second SSD, which I loaded Win-10.

I'm almost ready to build my 2nd computer, which I would like it to be a Linux machine, but I want to have these issues resolved before I start. I once again logged on, downloaded all of the updates, and it's still giving me issues. I did have a little success, I can now leave the HDMI cable plugged into my video card and not my MOBO port, but it still only runs in protected mode.

I went on the Linux message boards (again), and hopefully someone will help me resolve these issues. (Fingers crossed.)

Wish me luck!
