Switch GPU from AMD to Nvidia

General
1

Was gifted an Nvidia GPU for my SFF system and I am currently using an AMD GPU. In order to switch, do I rebase to bluefin-nvidia before swapping the cards? In other words,

  1. Rebase to bluefin-nvidia:latest
  2. Shut the machine down.
  3. Swap out the GPUs
  4. Boot into the nvidia image.

Am I correct or barking up the wrong tree?
rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin-nvidia:latest

I recommend you rebase first, swap GPU after.

The AMD drivers are in all images so your system will still boot even before you swap out the GPU. I am on bluefin-dx-nvidia and:

> find /lib/modules/6.11.3-200.fc40.x86_64/kernel/drivers/ -name '*amdgpu*'
/lib/modules/6.11.3-200.fc40.x86_64/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu
/lib/modules/6.11.3-200.fc40.x86_64/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu.ko.xz

After the successful rebase, swap out the GPU and when you reboot the proprietary Nvidia drivers will already be in place…
