Typically, no. AMD (and Intel) are generally plug and play with the same OS install. Drivers are open source and provided via Kernel and Mesa packages.

I do not use EndeavorOS so I cannot confirm if any additional packages are needed for Vulkan support. However, that wouldn't change if you're just upgrading from one AMD GPU to another.

Running Bazzite here and it's been great. Wife made the switch from Windows 10 too (she did not want 11).

Arch was fun when I had an interest to tinker, but Bazzite is great when you really just want to play games.

This is the one thing I miss from using Gnome. I might look into a way to recreate on KDE but I'm already used to using KDE as-is now.

Glad to see the use of "temporary" code started early.

Little Bobby Tables strikes again.

I really started to dislike Windows and projects like Bazzite made it incredibly easy to make the jump. The wife is now gaming in Linux for the same reasons.

Great suggestions. The Ventoy bros are weird. Just use what works for you.

Checking this out now! So far I like it. Only think I lose from using Gboard is the access to gifs, but I can work around that.

Ouch, didn't realize the Nvidia build was struggling. Hopefully it gets patched up soon.

If there's a previous commit before the issue is introduced you can pin it and wait to unpin until the issue gets resolved.

Fedora (including Silverblue/Kionite) is hard to recommend as a first distro though. It's an excellent platform when you know your end goal and how to get there, while providing "leading-edge" packages that's great for gaming.

But a project like Bazzite? Phenomenal new user experience for gaming and a very easy recommend.

Yup! Forgot to circle back to this post, but confirmed updated to 6.9.4 and games are no longer crashing.

This will be me using YouTube in 2025.
