As you've seen: it can and does depend on firmware needed. Some new machines 
show a completely black screen even after an apparently successful install
until they get the right firmware.

There are currently release critical bugs as one of the release managers
is trying to narrow down what machines need what and with what effects.
It also varies if the desktop environment is using older Xorg drivers
rather than Wayland, seemingly.

All the very best, as ever,
