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.
I game on a 7900xtx on CachyOS and it’s perfectly fine. Cachy will take care of the drivers 100% so it’s just plug and play. Better than my previous 3080ti. No driver issues or whatever. LMK if I can answer any questions
Oh nice, so you swapped from a 3080ti to a 7900XT?
Yep yep
