does linux CNC install not work on newer AMD systems

I was fighting with a new computer I am building
(at the same time I  am updating software on two makerspace PCs)
and I realized , why not use linuxCNC for an install OS just for testing, while I dig out a working product key for windows 10?

y'know, just for curiosity

wouldn't install
not even live version
get to the selection menu, click on any option, and install tries, but eventually fails, usually with a locked up blank screen
