Fresh install Ubuntu 20.04 or 21.04. Wasn't able to install unless safe graphics mode selected. After install hangs at final stage of booting with black screen.

AMD A8-7680 processor with build in Radeon™ R7 Series graphics.

Installing oem kernel

sudo apt install linux-oem-20.04b

And booting older kernel doesn't help.

With grub nomodeset boots OK, but works in 1024x768 resolution only.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset"

Proprietary R7 driver for 20.04 is unavailable. Downgrading to 18.04 is not really working, because it doesn't pass audio to HDMI anymore. Also it is in-laws computer and they live in another country I'm don't feel safe to leave it with old kernel, with possibility to have dead computer after any kernel update.

I have been using Ubuntu desktop and server software for 15 years,thanks developers and community. System improved greatly over those years. Unfortunately progress always comes with costs, especially for those with newer or older hardware. Computer is just a couple of years old. There are lots of desktop and laptop computers with this type of processors and graphics cards. Problem is not trivial and wouldn't disappear itself in near future.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
