My GTX-1080 is getting a little long in the tooth, I'm thinking of going all AMD on my Linux Mint gaming rig here, but…is there anything I need to do or install or uninstall to switch to an AMD card from an Nvidia one?
I've never done this before on a Linux system; I've got my Intel/Radeon laptop, and my Ryzen/GeForce desktop and that's most of my Linux experience.
My Gigabyte…what's this thing's model number? M34WQ is AMD Freesync compatible but not Nvidia G-Sync. Wait, do either of those two technologies work with Linux?
Freesync works with Linux on AMD, but only over DisplayPort.
My main monitor is already attached via DP, my secondary is actually DVI but it doesn't matter, that's my youtube/Wiki monitor.
Does FreeSync need any configuration of some kind, or just enable it in-game?
Only supported in KDE, Sway, Hyprland, and gamescope as of right now. Also supported in X11.

No config. It should just work
