@micdax Ton problème c'est la version du kernel.

Mint 19.3 utilise le kernel 4.15 qui est sorti avant même ta carte graphique existait.

Il te faut le kernel 5.4 ou plus récent.  Celui ci vient avec Mint 20.1.  Faut mettre à jour ton système d'exploitation.  Sinon ta carte graphique ne fonctionnera pas.

English:

Your issue is the kernel verision.

Mint 19.3 uses kernel 4.15, which was released before your GPU model even existed.

You require Kernel 5.4 or newer.  This comes with Mint 20.1.  You must upgrade your operating system or else your GPU won't work.

Thank Colesdav
for links but the problem is not solved!
for Serie 5000
it is not normal that the RX 5600 does not have Linux drivers
while 5500 and 5700 series drivers are available
AMD should publish the source code and the community will do the rest!
I'm going to wait a bit .. otherwise I'm going to sell this card
I should have taken a 5700 series or gone to the chameleon
friendly.

En français:
Merci Colesdav
pour les liens mais le problème n'est pas résolu!
pour la Serie 5000
il n'est pas normal que le RX 5600 ne dispose pas de pilotes Linux
tandis que les pilotes des séries 5500 et 5700 sont disponibles
AMD devrait publier le code source et la communauté fera le reste!
Je vais attendre un peu .. sinon je vais vendre cette carte
J'aurais dû prendre une série 5700 ou aller au caméléon
amicalement

OK I thought you may find the article useful. The first is using a Sapphire 5600XT with original lower performance BIOS with Linux 5.5. kernel. 
Maybe you could try and see if latest version of Ubuntu would work with that GPU using opensource drivers. 
In any case - I agree there should be AMDGPU/Pro linux drivers for that GPU by now available from AMD Driver Download page.
Maybe you just have to wait for a while...
