I noticed in the install guide it now lists Ryzen 3900 as being compatible with EVE for bare metal. Is the 5900x usable with EVE?

I have a new 5900x based system that I tried to install EVE using both the ISO and on top of a vanilla ubuntu install and in both cases I get an issue with the screen/video output. Using the ISO booting to usb the EVE install wizard appears to be on screen but the picture is so scrambled I cant see what Im doing. Alternatively installing on top of vanilla ubuntu server 18.04 works all the way until i reboot the host to come up in "EVE" mode but all i get is a black screen with nothing on it. If it helps, I have an RTX 2060 GPU in this system. I assume its an issue with the video card but just curious more than anything at this point.

System specs:

Ryzen 9 5900x
RTX 2060 Mini
32 GB of G skill 3600

EVE is using Ubuntu 20.04 now, both versions

Okay thanks, so I just reflashed my USB drive to the Ubuntu Server 20.04 installer and I'm still getting a scrambled screen. Can I just try the standard Ubuntu Desktop to see if that works?

I have attached a photo of what my screen looks like when attempting to boot from USB with 20.04.

For anyone interested, I figured out what the issue was. I resolved this by going into my motherboard's BIOS and turning off "Full Screen Logo Show" upon boot up. I guess for some reason it was being displayed/overlayed when the installer was trying to at the same time but as soon as I disabled that, the installer loaded up immediately and I can now see what I'm doing.

If you're running into a scrambled screen when trying to boot to the USB installer, turn off your motherboards logo display upon boot.

Thanks.
