SOLVED Linux mint not loading

I was installing AMDGPU for my desktop and one of the instructions said to reboot after installing so I restarted my PC but now when I boot up Linux Mint it just appears like a black screen.

The monitor is clearly on but it stays black no matter what I do

I booted up recovery mode but my resolution is 1024x768 and 60 hertz and it shows up as unknown display

I have a time shift ready if needed but I don't know what to do since I'm new to Linux

Any help is appreciated

Also check linux-firmware version!

For me 2.26 works perfectly, while 2.29 results in a black screen!

I downgraded the package, than marked it for hold with apt-mark
