I just got hold of an AMD RX7800 XT to replace my current Nvidia RTX3080.

I’m likely overthinking this but from what I understand I should just be able to swap the cards then uninstall the Nvidia drivers correct?

I’m running EndeavourOS which I installed with the option to include the Nvidia drivers by default so dunno if that changes anything? I’ve been daily driving Linux for exactly a year as of this month but I still kinda feel like a newbie sometimes lmao. Thanks in advance!

(Update) I got my AMD card installed and loaded up Wayland with no issues, only thing I had to install was the AMD Vulkan drivers for Steam.

    Oh right. Do you have a distro specific example of this?

      I’ve encountered the issue on arch and fedora, don’t have the package name off the top of my head but both package managers ask you to pick a package to fulfill the dependency.

        I see, appreciate the info. I’ll have a poke around on fedora later today
