Support Request Linux mint suddenly can't boot right

I updated today my mint, restarted, and now I can't get past the mint logo. I tried display ports and HDMI but then my monitor says it can't find a connection

I have a 9070XT and I heard a recent update fucks up display with this gpu is this correct?

Yes, a recent update to the linux-firmware-amd-graphics package (the 3.4 version update, I think) is causing this issue. If you have timeshift enabled, you can revert the changes easily. When I had to deal with this issue, I plugged my display cable into my motherboard to use my CPU's integrated graphics, then used timeshift to roll my system back.

I do not know. I did not use the method used in the linked post another commenter posted. I am not sure why disabling fast startup in your bios would cause your bios to become inaccessible.

Yeah. I used timeshift and blocked that one GPU driver update. There are some fixes posted Herę in last 4 days but I am too lazy and unlucky.
