I have an AMD GPU, and this certainly sounds a lot like the problems I've been having ever since the upgrade to Ubuntu 24.10 (weird graphical glitches and lockups in the boot process).

But adding the kernel parameter that is suggested as a workaround doesn't solve the problem. Blurgh

@jalefkowit have you had problems with suspend to ram too perchance?

@dysfun I have in the past, but it hasn't been a problem for a while. Now I'm trying to remember what I did to solve that

@jalefkowit I wonder if there are any differences in how Ubuntu and Mint handle the GPU. There shouldn't be, but that doesn't mean anything.
I bring this up, because I bought an AMD GPU specifically because I run into problems with Nvidia on Linux far too often.
I know this is not especially helpful in a granular sense, but it may not be AMD that's the issue so much as perhaps that specific GPU? I'm running a 6800M with no issues if that helps you determine the difference in any way.

@allenstenhaus Yeah, I ditched an Nvidia GPU for an AMD one this year for the same reason. Nvidia and Wayland just do not like each other.
If the writeups are accurate, the problem isn't so much with the hardware as with the open-source AMD driver having become very large over the years from accumulating support for lots and lots of AMD GPUs. It's big enough now that in some circumstances the kernel can't get it loaded fast enough to be ready when it's needed.
