I’m running CachyOS, and having an Nvidia card, I’m using their Nvidia-specific kernel. I know this 3060 won’t last forever, and I’m planning to upgrade to an AMD card for a better overall experience.

Is there anything I should be aware of regarding the kernel or other compatibility when switching brands? Can I simply plug in the new one and run pacman -Syu?

Sidenote: I will plan around my PSU’s output, so no need to advise regarding physical compatibility.

    Back in the day, NVIDIA was the most painful to get workin with ole tux and AMD was the better one. Don’t know how it is now, but I think AMD is still decent for linux support
