I'm currently on EndeavourOS that i set up like a week ago and I'm using a 4070 currently, I'm really new to Linux I used mint for about two months and just swapped over to EndeavourOS, but I wanted to know the proper way to swap over to the AMD card some people are saying I need to remove the Nvidia drivers and the add AMDs drivers then swap or others are saying just drop it in and then last is I have to reinstall the os, what is the proper way to do my upgrade? Thanks in advance sorry for the formatting

There's a grain of truth in what OP is saying though. If you used any GPU Compute apps, the driver switch is going to be much more involved, as you have to migrate them all and probably get rocm working on your system. Honestly you need lots of manual fixes too.

If you don't, no worries about that.
