I’m currently on EndeavourOS that i set up like a week ago and I’m using a 4070 currently, I’m really new to Linux I used mint for about two months and just swapped over to EndeavourOS, but I wanted to know the proper way to swap over to the AMD card some people are saying I need to remove the Nvidia drivers and the add AMDs drivers then swap or others are saying just drop it in and then last is I have to reinstall the os, what is the proper way to do my upgrade? Thanks in advance sorry for the formatting

    I’d say install vulkan-radeon package first and then uninstall Nvidia drivers, otherwise some packages might complain about missing dependencies, ex. Steam

      Is this analogous to radv? If so, does it need to be manually installed?

          right, good to know. I was under the impression this was included with Mesa. Admittedly I’ve never provisioned a system on Linux without amd gfx from the get go. Do users switching from nvidia (for example) to amd gfx need to manually install radv on their systems?
