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.

    Yeah that sounds promising. I have read the wiki page and I tried a few boot commands I followed this guide Here is what I have added to the boot manager screen:

    (without additions)

    GRUB version 2.12 load_video set gfxpayload=keep insmod gzio linux (sroot) /vmlinuz-6.11.6-300.fc41.x86_64 root=UUID=5еа3757а-72ac-492-9832-50b00b68f405 ro rootflags=subvol=root rhgb
    quiet amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=1 initrd (sroot) /initramfs-6.11.6-300.fc41.x86_64.1mg stuned_initrd Minimum Emacs-like screen editing is supported. TAB lists completions. Press Ctri-x or F10 to boot, Ctri-c or F2 for a command-line or ESC to discard edits and return to the GRUB menu.

    It didn’t work but I think it might be because I am doing something wrong here.
