Hey everyone! I recently decided to dive back into Linux and successfully installed Fedora on my old laptop. Now, I want to set it up on my desktop as a dual boot. However, I'm running into a frustrating issue. After creating boot media with the Fedora tool and getting to GRUB, I select the live version but end up with nothing but a black screen. I found out that the output is going to the onboard motherboard HDMI, not my dedicated graphics card. Initially, I installed it this way, using one of my monitors connected to the motherboard output, but after installation, I couldn't switch to my GPU. I even tried installing Nobara, hoping for better results, but got the same problem right away at the installer—just a black screen. My specs are: CPU AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI motherboard, PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPU, and 32GB DDR5 RAM. The GPU works fine in Windows, so I doubt it's a hardware issue. Disabling the onboard graphics in BIOS didn't change anything, aside from losing output on the motherboard. I'm at a loss for how to get Fedora to support my GPU. Any insights?

What specific error were you getting during the Nobara install?
There was no error message, just a black screen right after selecting to boot into the live environment from GRUB.
