My GTX-1080 is getting a little long in the tooth, I’m thinking of going all AMD on my Linux Mint gaming rig here, but…is there anything I need to do or install or uninstall to switch to an AMD card from an Nvidia one?

I’ve never done this before on a Linux system; I’ve got my Intel/Radeon laptop, and my Ryzen/GeForce desktop and that’s most of my Linux experience.

      Like there’s an Nvidia control panel that ended up on my machine by itself, that’s not going to be a problem?

        Not an issue. I did the same thing a while ago, switched from nvidea to amd. After i confirmed the radeon was working fine i purged all the nvidea stuff

      Everyone that - depending on how the Nvidia stuff was installed - they may need to uninstall that first as it may have changed some libraries.
