I’ve been using EndeavourOS for a while now and have my system configured to my liking, however I’m about to upgrade from a 2070s to a 7900 GRE and am not sure what steps I need to take. Is it easier to simply reinstall and lose my configuration, or is there a way to keep my configuration preserved if I need to reinstall?
I suspect you can just uninstall the N* stuff.
What in specific should I uninstall/install for the Nvidia/AMD drivers
Being as I haven’t ran an Nvidia system for twelve years, I am not the one to ask for specifics. However, the base system should be great with regards to AMD, you may have to add amdvlk if you want to game though.
Uninstall every Nvidia related package and then follow this.
Did this recently.
You can uninstall NoVideo packages either before or after, it doesn’t matter. I suggest doing it before.
sudo pacman -R nvidia nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils libvdpau
Once your AMD GPU is installed, the amdgpu kernel module will initialise automatically. Once in the OS, install the appropriate packages.
sudo pacman -S mesa xf86-video-amdgpu vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon libva-mesa-driver lib32-libva-mesa-driver mesa-vdpau lib32-mesa-vdpau
That’s it.
Note if you have nvidia-settings installed and you did any configuration, you have to clear out / delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf. You can then get rid of nvidia-settings too.
