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
As you’ve read from the comments it will work just fine.
On the other hand I’ve never done this major of a hardware change without a reinstall. I’d always be concerned if something is wiggy if it was some ghost in the machine from the previous install.
Now I also work in enterprise level IT so even my home stuff is a fairly automated install process with ansible and the like. Then again a lot of it is also virtual so take this with a grain of salt.
I actually did run into some of those “ghosts”. Lol Nothing major, though. I’ve been thinking of doing a complete clean install anyway since I haven’t done it in a very long time. Like, I want to even nuke my home partition and redo the whole thing.
