I've lost track of which distros are using which backends for graphics, but could it be related to xorg vs wayland or something along those lines?
Seems kinda of likely, but can't track it down.
Your desktop environment is Cinnamon? Fedora Workstation and I believe RHEL 8 and CentOS 8 that uses GNOME3 is about the only distros that defaults to wayland.
It is, yes. F30 with Cinnamon. The F31 that worked was Gnome 3.
Are you planning on trying F31 with Cinnamon?

Hi, I've had exactly the same problem on HP Pavilion Desktop PC. It goes black screen as soon as it boots. I'm running Fedora with XFCE desktop environment.
I temporarily boot on kernel 5.2.18. I've not tested kernel 5.3.7, and am reluctant to test any other version unless I'm sure the problem is fixed, because only three versions of the kernel are kept available in Grub. Two more updates, and I lose the only working version...
I have not seen the problem mentioned anywhere else... so it's difficult to find out when it can be fixed...

boot to the 5.2 kernel.
delete the newer kernels.

Hi, I found the problem also mentioned here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/dp8xvj/issues_with_the_kernel53x_series/
I don't know if the problem is known by the kernel upstream...Regarding Fedora updates, I always run it manually from the command line, so I just enter: dnf upgrade -x kernel*

Fixed for me with kernel 5.3.12 (Don't know the exact version that solved the problem, it may be a previous version).

And it worked fine. Doing the F31 update fixed it.

Issue returned for the last two weeks even on Fedora 31. Luckily the old F30 kernel was still there because of the lock and continued to work. But the 5.4 kernel came out today and it works again.
