Hello,everyone!

    I have a questions—— by work need, I want to my computer(hp elitebook 745 g5) become the operating system of linux(ubuntu18.04/kali linux).But I found some problem by internet, people says the computer hardware install kali or ubuntu will crash in black screen when it starting up.and the kali by use usb boot install system will find the graphy install model fail.

  my computer is AMD hardware（AMD_Ryzen_7_PRO_2700U_w/_Radeon_Vega_Mobile_Gfx），Speculation may be incompatible with this driver.

Hi,

I'd suggest to try a live CD/USB of linux Mint or install Debian. Both Kali and Ubuntu are based on Debian but Ubuntu imo doesn't have the best hw support. Linux Mint could be the answer since it's been founded by former Ubuntu developers and Kali is more or less a Debian with some hacking apps. Installing a pure Debian and then install those apps could actually prevent some compatibility issues.

I use several way to install linux system in my notebook(hp-elitebook-745-g5)

I find my boot install the linux system is ok,but when I restart the linux on notebook, I find starting display in the windows like The above two pictures. And then display blank screen .At the same time , I can not Access to the operating system（Linux）.but sometimes ok. I try to ubuntu18,opensuse,manjaro,debian,centos, but all to fail.I guess it is my GPU drive's problem.my notebook is AMD Ryzen 7PRO 2700w/Radeon Vega Mobile gfx *8(CPU)and AMD Radeon(TM) Vega 10 Graphics(GPU).

I try to AMD download drive of AMD Pro Vega seriers to install(by ubuntu18,centos,opensuse,SLED),but Not ideal
