[Mint 22.3] AMD firmware update 0ubuntu3.4 breaks graphical boot (github.com)

So I'm in this predicament too, I didn't notice the warning about this update breaking my card and I've just gone through a full reinstall - didn't have timeshift installed, so I'm kind of gutted. Getting that sorted now so it's an option going forwards.

My question is, how do I go about downgrading to the prior firmware that isn't broken? And should I update back to the newest kernel?

Sometimes I feel like I'm getting the hang of Linux, and then something like this comes up and I immediately realise how very little I know. I'd be extremely grateful for any guidance.

very happy to hear 😊

please make sure you grab the codec packs from the software store. There's a philosophical reason as to why they're not included by default, as they don't like to ship non-free sw in the base image, but these will allow for proper video playback. you should be able to find them in their own little section

other than that, enjoy your pc, hit us up if you need a hand with anything
