Switched from Nvidia to AMD is there amnything ? have to remove or ins

Hi, Recently I got amd GPU (AMD RX 570) and I was wondering if there's anything that I have to remove or install after switching to AMD gpu from a system that was previously running on an Nvidia GPU.

Hi!

Depends what you did install for your nvidia card. If you did use nouveau you don't have to do any changes. If you are using proprietary stuff and drivers, you must (well, should) remove them.

Remove a potential xorg.conf if you generated one with nvidia-xconfig.
