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 uninstall all the Nvidia stuff and reboot. It’s been great for me so far.

    Linux will auto detect the hardware and load the proper modules at boot. I believe initrd does this.

    This worked great for Intel -> AMD CPU also. I just removed the Intel microcode packages after I rebooted to save the disk space.
