Do I actually need to do anything to go from GeForce to Radeon? - eviltoast

My GTX-1080 is getting a little long in the tooth, I’m thinking of going all AMD on my Linux Mint gaming rig here, but…is there anything I need to do or install or uninstall to switch to an AMD card from an Nvidia one?

I’ve never done this before on a Linux system; I’ve got my Intel/Radeon laptop, and my Ryzen/GeForce desktop and that’s most of my Linux experience.

    Just install mesa and you should be good to go. Did a similar on Arch (GTX 960 to RX 7900 XT) and it picked up nicely, no adjustments were needed.
