I deleted /var/lib/firmware/nvidia cuz i thought i didn't need it since I'm on an amd gpu but now this happens, could someone help me please? This is linux-fallback I am now in my hyprland homescreen so I have a terminal available to fix it but I'm pretty sure trying to boot linux instead of linux-fallback would still be a black screen

Da fuq I'm spamming f10 but can't go into bios

placid pier do you have access to a terminal currently

I thought I had when I booted into linux-fallback but now it won't let me select what to boot and there won't be the screen where it says f10 to enter bios

Wait I found a fix I just had to connect one of my monitors with the motherboard dp instead of gpu
