hi so i recently switched my GPU to an AMD card from an Nvidia one. Im wondering if there is an easy way to remove all the nvidia packages on arch.

thanks in advance ^^

Ive only had to setup a nvidia system once, so I might be missing some packages, but I think pacman -Rns nvidia nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils should get rid of all of it.

I did a search for nvidia on my system and got these, which OP might wanna check for too:

egl-wayland
lib32-nvidia-utils
libvdpau
libxnvctrl
nvidia-open
nvidia-settings
nvidia-utils
opencl-nvidia

I’ve installed extra packages for proton and machine learning, so some of these may not be there, but hopefully that helps.

Remove the packages, DKMS folders, and blacklist everything Nvidia from modprobe. That'll do it.

Aka /etc/modprobe.d/override.conf
