I’ve already made a post about this, I made the switch from an Nvidia GPU to an AMD one and I was wondering if I needed to install anything extra. I’ve heard the drivers are included inside the kernel but how do I ensure that it’s installed?

      You should uninstall the Nvidia drivers for better stability and to make updates a bit faster.

      Is that all?

      Coming from Windows, where you should either nuke the install or use DDU in safe mode when changing vendors, for smooth sailing to paradise.

          It seems my comment didn’t send but I plugged the HDMI cable to another port on the monitor and it got rid of the big glitches, however a small portion of them still remains. My GPU seems to be connected correctly as well and these glitches are not present in Windows. I’m updating the OS as we speak I’ll see if anything changes

    Not really. Default drivers should work just fine. If you want to make sure they’re installed and running, run the following in a terminal:

    glxinfo | grep Mesa

    If you have any output, you have Mesa. It’ll tell you what version you have as well.

      yes it’s installed, also is there a program I can use to configure? Something like NVIDIA control panel but for AMD

        I like corectl for overclocking and whatnot. But as far as I know there isn’t something similar to Nvidia control panel on windows
