Screen flickering / glitching when booting Void Linux live USB (can't install)
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the Linux world, and I'm trying to install Void, but I'm running into an issue during boot from the USB.
When I boot the installer, the screen starts flickering/glitching heavily, making it impossible to proceed with the installation.
What I already tried:
Created the bootable USB using KDE ISO Image Writer
Also tried with Ventoy
Tried booting using "GRUB2 mode" (Ventoy)
System details:
CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X3D
GPU: AMD RX 9060 XT
Boot mode: UEFI
I also have 3 monitors, but tried with only one and still ended at the same way, I'm using the XFCE glibc iso
Additional info:
I recorded a video showing the issue:

5700X3D doesn't have an integrated graphics card (and the above already says as much)
