omg ubuntu and amd and video drivers are completely batshit
so, eventually i found a USB install image that booted and actually had drivers for my new Asrock RX 7800 XT ... but it installs it, and then also puts kernel 6.5 on it that doesn't support it, just gives black screen, and the goddamn installer sets up the grub to not give a pause to choose
i did that 3 times before finally going through the effort of booting the live USB, chrooting into the image, discovering it had a "newer" kernel on it that breaks the X video, remove it, update everything, reboot, and omg blessed relief
i was a bit shocked to learn that i'd gone and bought a video card that was barely properly supported by linux in january... literally only days ago finally fully supported
