What is a correct way to completely purge NVIDIA and install AMD (open source ones).
Thanks.
Hello @sensei,
First of all you have to delete all nvidia packages you have.
At manjaro wiki here
says that you can remove the nvidia drivers with that command:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia
After that in your manjaro settings hardware section you can install the driver for your AMD graphic card.

check version installed
sudo mhwd -li
sudo mhwd -r pci < video-nvidia version >
sudo mhwd -i pci video-linuxother way
sudo mhwd -a pci free 0300

in addition to what @stephane said, make sure that there is no xorg.conf - file left in /etc/X11/ because it will still try to force-load the nvidia driver although it is no longer present - resulting in non-working GUI.

Thank you very much guys. (Sorry for the late reply but the e-commerce website delayed my card too much.)
I followed the steps and it worked.
I have one concern though, inxi -G shows that amdgpu failed:
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.8 driver: amdgpu FAILED: ati unloaded: modesetting resolution: 1920x1200~60Hz
driver used is amdgpu , failed for ATI … unloaded for the rest

Oh, my mistake. Thanks.
How do I reverse the process. Remove AMD and install NVIDIA.
I am curious to do some benchmarks to see how much improvement on FPS do I have.
Thanks
