Introduction

This project isn't ideal, but it does the job. Never blame me if there is an issue or malfunction. Although this project carries some risk. Please read Dortania's official documents and my explanations for about this build, then shouldn't have any issues. Please do so at your own risk. Below are the best references to explore:

Note: agdpmod=pikera boot arg may disable board ID checks on Navi GPUs (RX 5000 and 6000 series); without this, you'll get a black screen, especially on SMBIOS, which is built with dual GPUs. Don't use it if you don't have Navi (i.e., Polaris and Vega cards shouldn't use this). As an alternative, this patch can also be injected via DeviceProperties as agdpmod or data or 70696b65726100 to any of the two GPUs available. Refer, here.
