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.

    That’s interesting. You generally don’t need to manually install that. You’ve prompted me to play around with arch once I return from the most beautiful city in the world.

    Which distro and dgpu are you using, if you don’t mind me asking?
