I’m trying to install ubuntu 25.04 (previously tried 24.04.03 LTS) and my machine hangs when trying to select a language. I’m used to this with NVIDIA hardware but I haven’t had this with AMD before. I get the same issue whether I set nomodeset prior to booting, or using safe graphics. Has anyone had the same trouble, or knows a different way around the issue?
I did not have this issue when installing 25.04. My installer issue was the wifi not connecting properly but the reboot after seemed to clear that up.

I had issues with the USB C Dock through a USBC switcher. This was the switcher. Amazon.com: Cable Matters 20Gbps USB C Switch, 3-in-1-Out, Supports Up to 8K@30Hz on Windows, 4K@60Hz on macOS, 140W PD, for Sharing a USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 Monitor or Dock, Works with Thunderbolt 4/5 Laptops : Electronics
When using the dock or Switcher though, the Ubuntu installer/boot process loads text really small, so I think that has to do with using a 4K monitor as well. Not sure. I was able to get is installed removing hte switcher and connecting directly to the USBC Dock.
It would freeze on the WiFi setup. So I think I had to go back and forth in the installer a few times before it allowed me to connect to my WiFi and then I was able to install the installer/update and get through it all.
After this, I’ve had not too many issues with Ubuntu 25.04.
