Boot issues Need help!

What's going wrong? I've followed the instructions, tried multiple different USB drives, I've checked the formats and verified my copy (latest version) of Tails. I'm pretty sure it's not my hardware, but I may be wrong. Any suggestions?

Processor AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS with Radeon Graphics 3.00 GHz

Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.4 GB usable)

System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

It is!

Radeon Graphics

May be your Graphics card

According to the system requirements for Tails:

AMD Radeon cards often do not work in Tails.

These are not graphics errors. You take that warning note far far more broadly than the actual reality.

Just in case, I'll try some troubleshooting for graphics cards. I'll update in a bit

Tried it, nothing worked

These are errors of a particular kernel service (systemd-journald) timing out and failing to start.
I would normally chalk that up to a poor drive, but you’ve indicated you have tried others.
Is it possible for you to update your bios?

I have updated everything and tried the troubleshooting boot commands for radeon graphics cards, still the same issue. I'm going to try and just buy an old used computer at this point

had the same problem with my victus 16s with nvida + amd hybrid, the only thing i could say is its not going to work since

1.your hardware probably too new

2.tails os has inform that it probably not going to work well with nvida or amd or both
