Question about AMD drivers

Thanks for the post, however, there is a question I have about the drivers that I don’t see answered anywhere I searched. I can confirm with a pacman query that I do have the appropriate mesa dirvers installed, but I don’t know how to confirm that they are actually in use. But when opening the mhwd GUI tool it lists 3 possible drivers for my AMD gpu: video-linux, video-modesetting and video-vesa. What are these exactly?

This is a meta package for the open source drivers, which are built into the kernel itself.

I think this is for hybrid GPU systems

A generic fallback driver, that most won’t need to touch
