Moving from legacy drivers (and legacy boot) to open drivers (and UEFI boot)

If I had made a post for each problem, besides cluttering the forum, it would have been impractical. The problems are related to each other because, in the end, what really mattered was having a correct and well-done graphics card transition.

I really like using Manjaro; the team’s work is amazing. I use the forum for helping me (when needed) and read the documentation about updates. Everyone has their own life, and I don’t want to bother anyone. So maybe less sarcasm is a good way of dealing with people who don’t know as much as you do.

So, as promised, here is a step-by-step of what I did.

  1. Since I was using Nvidia and my updates was delayed, first of all, I changed to open drivers (Nouveau) and the removed the Nvidia drivers.
  2. Update the system and reboot
  3. Moved to UEFI (there is a good tutorial in Manjaro Wiki, I used chroot trough a live USB). In my case, my disk was on MBR, had to move to GPT (this procedure has a risk of losing data).
  4. Replaced the old GPU with the new one, and everything worked just fine, since the AMD drivers work out of the box.

Thanks everyone for the help and patience.
