You're dealing with an older system that had compatibility issues. The fix you tried—using "nomodeset" to disable the bootloader—was a temporary workaround. For a more permanent solution, consider updating your graphics drivers or using a newer version of Ubuntu that better supports older hardware. If the problem persists, checking for firmware updates or contacting AMD support might help.

They chose to create their own modesetting system, as expected. Generally, the kernel uses its default modesetting, but NVIDIA drivers don't follow that. You need to change it to NVIDIA's modesetting by setting the kernel parameter `nvidia-drm.modeset=1`. The `nomodeset` setting you applied is a kernel parameter.
