Changing from Nvidia to AMD in Linux
Changing from Nvidia to AMD in Linux
Switching from an Nvidia GPU to an AMD GPU doesn't necessarily require uninstalling the Nvidia drivers. You can install the AMD drivers directly, and since your system is using Pop_OS, it should handle the transition smoothly. Just ensure the AMD drivers are compatible with your current setup to avoid any issues.
I haven't tried or noticed how Pop handles Nvidia drivers, but I think you'd need to delete the NVidia drivers manually. For Linux after swapping hardware, a separate / and /home partition could be ideal. This way, you wouldn't lose data or need to back up files, and you could reinstall your OS with the right ISO for that hardware. The challenge is limited storage for apps in the / partition—about 50GB should suffice if you're using Linux and not dual-booting on a small SSD.
It's expected the Linux community will support each other, just as planned after the GNU/Linux merger in the 90s.
The removal of Nvidia drivers shouldn't impact AMD drivers, and you should still retain all necessary dependencies for both sets of drivers.
