hi so i recently switched my GPU to an AMD card from an Nvidia one. Im wondering if there is an easy way to remove all the nvidia packages on arch.

thanks in advance ^^

    Ive only had to setup a nvidia system once, so I might be missing some packages, but I think pacman -Rns nvidia nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils should get rid of all of it.

      I did a search for nvidia on my system and got these, which OP might wanna check for too:

      egl-wayland
      lib32-nvidia-utils
      libvdpau
      libxnvctrl
      nvidia-open
      nvidia-settings
      nvidia-utils
      opencl-nvidia 
      

      I’ve installed extra packages for proton and machine learning, so some of these may not be there, but hopefully that helps.

    Remove the packages, DKMS folders, and blacklist everything Nvidia from modprobe. That’ll do it.
