Hi all, I’m switching motherboards. No dGPU. Going from an Intel MB to an AMD one. I have my root partition on an nvme and the home one on a 2.5" sata. Do I need to reinstall, or can I just move the drives from the old MB to the new one without a problem? Figured since both Intel and AMD drivers are both baked into the kernel out of the box, wouldn’t it just work and I’ll only need to remove the Intel stuff? I’m running good ole endeavourOS with KDE Plasma if that makes any difference. Any insight is much appreciated

    amdgpu is a kernel module. Nearly every distro includes it in their kernel by default. Unless OP rolled their own kernel, they should already have it. If they start up their machine with an AMD graphics card of any kind they most likely shouldn’t need to install or configure anything.
