Now new Linux kernels have bug on using graphic driver! I can not boot into desktop environment normally with many new version distributions!
It can not use graphic driver for “Radeon HD 6400 and later (radeon)”! Many AMD FM2(+) APUs!
It is severe! Now I have one more reason to stop new people from using GNU/Linux!

If you were using the 'radeon' kmod, you have to switch to 'amdgpu' if you are using newer Mesa and newer kernel if this is the issue you are talking about. The same thing happened to me.

How to do that?

If you build kernels, leave off the configation for 'radeon' and set to the 'amdgpu' to 'm' or 'y'. Or, if you don't build kernels, disable it with blacklist statement. Something like this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU or search on 'switch radeon to amdgpu' for another distro's instructions.

Still too complex for me.

GNU/Linux nerver suits for non-advanced users of computer, is not it?
