Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and Radeon R9 390 - can't install video drivers (not proprietary, not additional)
First of all sory for any nonsense, but after days and days of trying to set it up and reading forums, I still fell like I have missed something important. I am totaly new in Linux world. And sorry for bad english :)
So, previously using Windows 10, now dual booting W10 and Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS with hopes to learn about it and eventualy switch to it. But seem like graphic card does not let me.
The first and biggest obstacle with which I am dealing now for few days is Radeon R9 390. Black screens, tearing picture (when triyng to install Linux Mint),... Ok, I quickly found instructions to add "nomodeset" at start when installing Ubuntu, so now I do this procedure:
- Booting in USB with Ubuntu ISO, pressing "e" to add "nomodeset" (without nomodeset I get black screen),
- installation succesfull,
- restart,
- in grub2 before starting freshly installed Ubuntu again adding "nomodeset".
So when I am on installed ubuntu desktop, first I update sistem, restart, again in grub add " nomodeset", then I go to "AMD download drivers" website, download amdgpu-pro drivers, extract drivers, go to Terminal, write "cd amdgpu-pro-17.30-NNNNNN", then "./amdgpu-pro-install –y"......
....instalation seems to go nicely, but then I get this line:
"WARNING: nomodeset detected in kernel parameters, amdgpu requires KMS"
Terminal text
http://shrani.si/f/R/GX/3nIBaOOE/img20181220125732.jpg
What does this KMS mean?
Now I do not know if the drivers were installed. If I restart and select Ubuntu in grub menu, I get this list and I am stuck. The only thing I know to do on this point is to install Ubuntu again... And hope I will magicly find something. :P
http://shrani.si/f/3X/aa/3TfGnJAr/img20181230224309.jpg
After installing AMD drivers, and restarting, should I change anything in grub? I have tried, as suggested on one forum, to add "blacklist=radeon".
Grub after restart http://shrani.si/f/W/fR/jcyEbL0/img20181230224141.jpg
Please help me. Thanks :)

*EDITED:
I have tried to install additional drivers, like Kristopher Ives suggested in comment, but here is the next problem. There are no additional drivers available. (Looks like this: https://i.stack.imgur.com/jFgJI.png )
To solve this i have tried this solutions
- I have added repository with "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa AND sudo apt-get update"
List is still empty.
I am totally lost :( Am I missing something? Is there any other way?
Firstly, I have tried to install proprietary AMD drivers, since some says these are better, but with no luck (problem described above). After this, I have no luck with additional drivers... How is this possible. Should I buy some other video card?

Have you tried using the built in Ubuntu Drivers manager instead of using the AMD download? It's often much better / easier to use the built in software from Ubuntu than to download proprietary third party stuff.
