normal boot

I bought a new Laptop just a few days ago. I installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed from
scratch on it. It was working great. I transferred all my data from the old
laptop (and wiped that one out).

I started getting a notification that there were updates available, I chose
"Install Updates", but it systematically gave me the error "Package Updater has
crashed" (or something like that).
I think it's bug 1177556.

So I googled the issue and I ran from a terminal:
  sudo zypper dup

which is what people in forums suggested to do as an alternative way to install
the updates. I rebooted as the updater said I needed to.


Now MY COMPUTER IS BRICKED. When I boot I get a black screen with 3 errors
(though I think I was seeing at least the last two also when I could boot).

I tried "Advanced options for OpenSUSE" from the boot menu, which gives me 4
options: two kernel versions, and a corresponding "Recovery Mode" option for
each one.
Both kernel versions fail to boot with the same errors.

With the recovery mode (which I have no idea what I would be supposed to do
with) I get a lot more messages in the black screen, as if it was getting
farther in the boot process, but it also gets stuck, the last message being:

fb0: switching to amdgpudrmfb from EFI VGA.


Thanks a lot, OpenSUSE.
This is even worse than Ubuntu.

I attach a photo of the screen when booting normally, and one of the boot
screen when booting in Recovery Mode.

Well, actually it seems this stupid bug tracker only allows to attach one file
to the report, so I'll attach the second picture later
