hello,

i'am a long time FunToo (GenToo) User.

I bought a Sapphire Nitro + RX590 and thought this will work perfect with Qubes 
OS.

But there were some hiccups, because the kernel is to old including very old 
Firmware files.

I could only start installer with ' amdgpu.dpm=0 ' and everything went fine.

After playing around with the System, i decided to reinstall and choose XFS 
Filesystem (the System is noticeably faster) and just a little SWAP file 
(1024MB), because my System RAM is 32GB.

After some research i somehow managed the Problem regarding not included ' 
amdgpu' Driver - just installed it from an old Fedora 25 Repository - and i 
also downloaded current available Firmware files from Fedora 31 Repository and 
copied to dom0 ;-).

I was happy to see new Kernels, but none of them are working !

On the Lightdm login screen, there are some graphic glitches, just the 
backround and after typing my user Password, Lightdm crashs and toss me back to 
Login menu.

Only working Kernel without glitches are 4.14.74 and 4.14.103 with 
'amdgpu.dpm=0 and plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles' grub option.

I also tried to compile a kernel with the config from my Funtoo System, but the 
behaviour is the same, no login possible or the Desktop just crashs after some 
time and i'am back to login screen.

I must admit that RPM based System are PITA including SystemD and XFCE is a 
ugly Desktop Environment - i hope MATE will be available in the Future.

And i also hope you switch to Debian (or maybe to GenToo) for dom0, because it 
is uncomplicated and APT is very easy to handle.

I'am wondering why all new Kernels don't work on my System - is dom0 just to 
old?

here's my System:
