Fortunately, this fucking windows partition I only keep for VR with my shitty Oculus Rift CV1 reminds me how fucked up the alternative is. I can't fucking wait to get a Steam Frame and ditch it.
I actually did exactly this last night, & it was as painless as could be. I replaced my old amd RX 6600 with a fresh nvidia 5060 I got for Christmas.
The distro I am using is Bazzite, & because of the immutable nature of the distro, all I had to do was rebase to bazzite-nvidia-open & swap the gpu's. The process was as follows:
- rebase bazzite using only one command
- shutdown & open case
- swap graphics cards, dust the machine & close case
- reboot machine
- enjoy games my rig struggled with previously for 20 minutes
- watch YouTube for the rest of the night
All there was to it. The download page on their website was all I needed to tell me how to do it.
