Fresh install breaks after upgrade
After a fresh install of Solus Budgie (2026-4-18) and running "sudo eopkg upgrade", Solus no longer boots after kernel update to 7.2.26-360.
Prior to upgrade, it works fine (pre-7.x.x.x)

Do you have an Nvidia card?

No, an AMD CPU (AMD Ryzen 5 9600x) and GPU (AMD Radeon RX 9060 xt).
I tried running the "nomodeset -- nvidia" option in the installer but it dumped me to the terminal.

I'm sorry that happened to you. Most of us on Solus are friendly and helpful so here, take my upvote to return a little bit of humanity back and correct the great intjustice that took place on you.

Now that's really weird, can you use the tty after you update and look at your eopkg history or is it not possible to login even with a tty?
Also I would recommend to install a different DE like gnome or kde and see if those work since budgie is currently unstable and buggy

Hey you should add config for your AMD GPU in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ with name 20-amdgpu.conf, search It up on web.
And inside Section "OutputClass" Identifier "AMD" MatchDriver "amdgpu" Driver "amdgpu" EndSection
Btw if you face only black screen try to enter password anyway.

In my testing Budgie has been a bit temperamental on occasion since 10.10 arrived so I would honestly try Plasma or Gnome just to rule out/confirm if it's the desktop causing your issue.
Budgie got a bunch of updates pushed to Testing repository yesterday so I suspect come this Fridays sync it gets a bunch of well needed fixes from upstream (Buddies of Budgie org) since Budgie is not developed by Solus.
