I’m going to assume no? I do not recall seeing anything like that in the ISO (installed this system at most a month ago) and i have not messed with anything in my system by that name. If it is enabled by default on the latest ISO then yes, if else, probably no.
When it comes to this specific issue, all i did was use eos-timeshift to set my system back to 9/30 and waited until i saw someone post on here that the issue was fixed, at which point i used yay to update my system.
yes … in case you do install initially using the nvidia option you would have only the drm modesettimg option enabled.
But with the current nvidia-utils package we see this and the fbdev option are now enabled by default without any extra intervention needed.
You will still have the option added under /etc/kernel/cmdline or in /etc/default/grub they can be removed now. Also it will not harm if they are there.
Whew… seems like I switched to a 7800 XT at the right time.
From a 4090, if anyone’s curious. Yes, I ended up despising Nvidia that much.
Wow that’s like dropping down to an RTX 4070 and still worth it!
Yeah, I’ve had it while I was still using Windows. But recently I became much more modest, got Linux and decided I’d rather have the best compatibility over raw performance. 7800 XT performance is all I need. Sold it for a good chunk of money, at least.
I completely forgot to remove the Nvidia packages before installing the GPU, I was excited to see how Radeon is like on Linux. I realised this mid-installation but I went ahead and installed the GPU regardless.
What impressed me is how it worked perfectly regardless. Was able to purge Nvidia stuff afterwards with no issue. Amdgpu module started just fine. Love how everything “just works”.
