I’ve already made a post about this, I made the switch from an Nvidia GPU to an AMD one and I was wondering if I needed to install anything extra. I’ve heard the drivers are included inside the kernel but how do I ensure that it’s installed?

    Not really. Default drivers should work just fine. If you want to make sure they’re installed and running, run the following in a terminal:

    glxinfo | grep Mesa

    If you have any output, you have Mesa. It’ll tell you what version you have as well.

      yes it’s installed, also is there a program I can use to configure? Something like NVIDIA control panel but for AMD

        I like corectl for overclocking and whatnot. But as far as I know there isn’t something similar to Nvidia control panel on windows

        I’ve personally never heard of or used any driver control panels for mesa. It just works with 0 fuss for me. If you mean graphical settings, your desktop environment’s control panel should have some knobs and buttons.
