well, today i (partially) realized why my basic drivers don’t work: the preinstalled packages amdgpu and amdgpu-dkms seem to not work due to amdgpu-dkms being unconfigured. tried configuring it and got the same error. around about there my system stopped using even the iGPU and i had to uninstall some other drivers (thanks @lena@gregtech.eu )
AMD is much MUCH better to set up, I have an AMD laptop and setup for drivers is just adding amdgpu to the boot flags (NixOS btw), for Nvidia on my main pc I had to go to hell and back to get it mostly working and even then Zed sometimes causes my kernel to panic (But I’m not 100% sure if it’s because of the Nvidia drivers)
