Comment # 2 on bug 1177707 from teo teo

I am able to boot, and at least use my laptop and access my data (if only to
save it somewhere and install another OS that doesn't brick my computer at the
slightest update), by adding nomodeset to the boot line. (I have no idea what
that is)

However, with that, I cannot use an external monitor connected via HDMI, which
worked before the zypper dup that bricked the computer.


Should I expect openSUSE to be completely unreliable and unstable with the AMD
processor and GPU? If so please tell me, because if that is the issue, I am in
time to return the laptop and get another one with an intel CPU and a different
GPU. I didn't expect to have to worry about that with any major and popular
brand. Is there any at all on which openSUSE is stable and works??
