-----
-===== Approach =====
-  - Update the system.
-  - Shutdown the system.
-  - Swap GPU card.
-  - Boot the system.
-    * This should work fine, since minimum support is via the kernel amdgpu.
-  - Optionally, purge Nvidia packages.
-  - Install Mesa.
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:**
-  * The NVIDIA packages can be kept, and will not cause any trouble but will just waste space.
-  * Mesa is the open source implementations of OpenGL and Vulkan that AMD GPU users typically use.
-</WRAP>

-===== Download & Install the AMD Installer Script =====
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:**  Check the latest version number of the Installer Script by checking the .deb file link from https://www.amd.com/en/support/linux-drivers.
-</WRAP>
-<code bash>
-sudo apt update
-wget https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/22.40.5/ubuntu/focal/amdgpu-install_5.4.50405-1_all.deb
-sudo apt install ./amdgpu-install_5.4.50405-1_all.deb
-</code>
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:**  Run the **amdgpu-install** script without any arguments, should be sufficient.
-Alternatively, try this:
-<code bash>
-amdgpu-install --usecase=graphics,opencl --vulkan=amdvlk --opencl=rocr
-</code>
-</WRAP>
-----
-===== Optionally, install fresh firmware files =====
-Grab the latest firmware from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git.
-Drop these firmware files into /lib/firmware/amdgpu/ and rebuild any initramfs:
-<code bash>
-wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/snapshot/linux-firmware-20230515.tar.gz
-tar -xf linux-firmware-20230515.tar.gz
-sudo cp linux-firmware-20230515/amdgpu/* /lib/firmware/amdgpu/
-sudo update-initramfs -uk 'all'
-</code>
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:**  The latest firmware files should probably support these new GPUs.
-</WRAP>
-----
-===== Enable the AMD Kernel Module =====
-Ensure there is no modprobe blacklist for amdgpu by running the command:
-<code bash>
-sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-amdgpu.conf
-</code>
-----
-===== Optionally Purge nvidia drivers =====
-Remove the Nvidia packages and any Nvidia related kernel arguments you might have (DRM Kernel Mode Setting or whatever).
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:**  The Nvidia drivers will not load if there is no Nvidia card installed.
-  * Leaving the NVIDIA stack installed ensures that it is ready if you ever need to switch to a backup GPU in a hurry.
-</WRAP>
-----
-===== Optionally Install Vulkin =====
-Install the AMD vulkan package to get vulkan support.
-----
-===== Install Mesa =====
-<code bash>
-sudo apt install mesa-utils
-</code>
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:** Mesa is the open source implementations of OpenGL and Vulkan that AMD GPU users typically use.
-</WRAP>
-----
-===== Check that the GPU is being picked up =====
-<code bash>
-glxinfo | grep OpenGL
-</code>
-returns:
-<code bash>
-</code>
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:** This should show useful info on the GPU.
-</WRAP>
-----
-===== Test the GPU =====
-<code bash>
-glxgears -info
-</code>
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:** This should show some gears spinning around, together with frames per second.
-</WRAP>
