hey all, question...im considering changing from nvidia to AMD gpu, is there a way to switch to the AMD version without reinstalling? like is it safe to rebase to the amd version?

Yeah you can just rebase

Kyle Gospo•6/25/24, 10:52 PM

And you're welcome to do it before or after you swap the GPU, does not matter

Kyle Gospo•6/25/24, 10:52 PM

You can even not do it at all, AMD support is in all images

TyberBeiOP•6/25/24, 10:52 PM

awesome good to know

Shiina•6/25/24, 10:53 PM

How good is vulkan 1.21

TyberBeiOP•6/25/24, 10:54 PM

side note, i do keep reading that you "cant" rebase between gnome and kde, is that still the case? i want to flip the DE on my ally

what do you mean by this

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/25/24, 10:54 PM

it won't run steam gaming mode

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/25/24, 10:55 PM

if you have a dedicated gpu that is a modern AMD GPU or an Intel Arc then it's fine

Ttryhardsoccermomswag what do you mean by this

Shiina•6/25/24, 10:55 PM

How does it support it. Because I also have a laptop with a 660m and a hd 3000

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/25/24, 10:55 PM

that wont run steam gaming mode

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/25/24, 10:55 PM

requires specific vulkan extensions

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/25/24, 10:55 PM

you can but we don't recommend it because kde/gnome stomp on config files

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/25/24, 10:55 PM

if you really want to, you can try but stuff may break

SShiina How does it support it. Because I also have a laptop with a 660m and a hd 3000

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/25/24, 10:55 PM

this would be great for a desktop image

Shiina•6/25/24, 10:56 PM

Alright good to know what proton versions would vulkan 1.2.1 support?

SShiina Alright good to know what proton versions would vulkan 1.2.1 support?

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/25/24, 10:56 PM

i think anything below 7 would be fine

Ttryhardsoccermomswag if you really want to, you can try but stuff may break

TyberBeiOP•6/25/24, 10:56 PM

might give it a whirl. thanks

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/25/24, 10:56 PM

7 might even be fine iirc

Kyle Gospo•6/25/24, 10:56 PM

The problem here is both desktop environments shove files into your home directory that conflict with each other

Kyle Gospo•6/25/24, 10:56 PM

You can do it, but expect random shit to break. It's very hard for us to support

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/25/24, 10:57 PM

in my experience doing this on regular silverblue

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/25/24, 10:57 PM

gnome --> kde doesnt break too much stuff

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/25/24, 10:57 PM

the other way around is way more noticable

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/25/24, 10:57 PM

but yeah its all support stuff basically

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/25/24, 10:57 PM

if something breaks we kind of don't want to waste our time

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/25/24, 10:57 PM

you'd be bettter off reinstalling at that point

TyberBeiOP•6/25/24, 10:58 PM

yea fair enough, ill just reinstall if kde > gnome breaks easily (the way i want to go)

Do y'all happen to know any cheap ways to turn my laptop into a monitor

Shiina•6/25/24, 11:05 PM
