Steam not launching correctly
  • Thank you! I was afraid that it was something I had done, as it had been working with the 3060 Ti that I just removed. I guess I'll just launch it with integrated graphics and use the extra command for the game itself until Valve fixes it.

  • So I just replaced my graphics card with an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT as I was having issues with Nvidia drivers. I replaced the card and then removed the Nvidia drivers with ' sudo apt purge ~nnvidia '. I then restarted the computer.

    Everything seems to be working correctly other than Steam will launch but when it tries to actually open a window, it will appear and then instantly disappears and will flash like this several times. The icon in the top bar is still there and I can use it to exit Steam, but I cannot open up any windows with it. If I start Steam from the CLI or start it with integrated graphics, it works correctly.

    Need help/advice before changing graphics card
  • I guess my main question is how do I uninstall the Nvidia drivers, and do I uninstall them before or after I change graphics cards. ( I do not know much about the command line, my knowledge is pretty much limited to copy/pasting commands from online and hoping it works).

  • I am planning on swapping out my graphics card and am looking for some advice on how best to go about it.

    Right now I have a Nvidia RTX 3060 ti and it was working just fine with the proprietary drivers until they were updated to 535 through the pop shop and now it seems to have kind of broken modded minecraft, which I play a lot of.

    I am thinking of switching to a AMD Radeon RX 6700XT and am wondering if anyone has any experience with one of these cards while running Pop OS, does it perform well, are the drivers decent?

    If I do decide to swap, how do I go about removing the nvidia drivers and installing the amd drivers without breaking anything?
