I've tested on 4 rigs:
- old Thinkpad laptop from 2010 with discrete Mobility Radeon HD 3650 GPU
- old custom built PC from 2008 with HD Radeon 8450 GPU
- older HP workstation from 2016 with integrated Intel HD 510 chipset
- newer laptop AMD cpu with Radeon Pro Vega 20 integrated GPU

All worked without issues and started to the welcome screen (that wasn't
centered but adjusted to top left of the screen).
No weird errors in dmesg nor journalctl -a.

You're welcome. If you need any more testing, just ask.
