Before modprobe.blacklist=radeon was added to the official installer’s
config file, I had to press the F10 key in GRUB and add
modprobe.blacklist=radeon to the end of the linux line.

I presume the installer does not work for you (i.e. the user is blind,
it does not display more than a black screen, even though key presses
are handled correctly).  Does it work for you if you add
modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu?

Using Xorg would open its own can of worms.  For example, Xorg does
not work well on Virtualbox on some other operating system.

Regards,
Florian
