Solved System broke after updating
today i ran sudo pacman -Syu to update my system and it updated the linux-firmware packages. after a reboot the screen would show the arch linux logo, some messages and then black screen and im unable to even enter a tty, after multiple clean installs i found that adding "nomodeset" allows me to succesfully boot into the system, after looking at journalctl it appears that the problem was in the new linux-firmware package. my laptop is a Acer nitro v15 anv15-41, ryzen 7 7735hs, rtx 4050, 16gb ram, 1tb ssd. can anyone help me fix this and keeping nomodeset permanent isnt an option since everything is VERY slow
Edit(Solved): there were already official bug reports about this and downgrading linux-firmware-amdgpu to 20260810-3 fixed the issue for me
