    Yeah, switched from a NVIDIA card, purged all NVIDIA packages, made sure AMD wasn’t blacklisted and then tried installing the mesa freeworld packages from RPM Fusion.

    But - I’m not sure what’s happened but I ran dnf update tonight and rebooted and now everything’s working and hardware acceleration is back on and running snappy. I got a notice that Plasma had updated to a new version, so maybe something relating to that fixed it? I could have sworn I ran updates after replacing the GPU and uninstalling the drivers.


  • Mainly just that now DaVinci Resolve, OBS, etc aren’t using hardware acceleration and/or not working at all. I haven’t got around to testing Steam because I figured I’d boot into Bazzite when gaming - but if it messes up my ‘work’ desktop to have the AMD GPU I’m going to have to cry slowly as I put the green boi back in there…

    I’ll have to tinker some more and maybe try the copr repo you’re talking about.
