The main reason many sub-communities are stuck on Telegram (and Discord) are the public group chat/broadcast channel related features. Signal still has a 1000 member group size limit, which is more than enough for a “group DM” but mostly useless for groups with publicly posted invite links. Those same groups would also much rather have functional scrollback/search on join instead of encryption.
In my experience, most hangs with a message about amdgpu loading on screen are caused by an amdgpu issue of some kind. I’d check to see if amdgpu ends up being loaded correctly via
lsmod | grep amdgpu
and just a generaljournalctl -b 0 | grep amdgpu
to see if there’s any obvious failures there. Chances are that even if it’s not amdgpu, the real failure is in the journal somewhere.Could be a wrong setting of
hardware.enableRedistributableFirmware
(should be true) or the new-ishhardware.amdgpu.initrd.enable
(can be either really but either true or false might be more or less reliable on your system).
