Switched from an NVIDIA GPU to an AMD GPU, Gnome on XORG doesn't boot properly

Hi, I’ve upgraded my GPU from a GT 1030 to a RX 580, but when I try screensharing on Discord, it displays a black screen with only my cursor on it. I’ve tracked this down to me running Wayland, but when I try to boot to XORG with Gnome, it just returns me back to the login with password screen every time I try to boot with the XORG with Gnome option. Help is appreciated.

Running inxi -Gazy returns

Hi and welcome to the forum :wave:

This does not seem correct, you do not have a nvidia card installed anymore?

Check this page how to remove / install drivers from the command line or the msm with a gui.

you should boot on USB live manjaro
open a terminal

manjaro-chroot -a
pacman -Syyu ( for internet check )
mhwd -a pci free 0300 ( drivers free)
exit ( for end-chroot )

then reboot

I’ve already done this, but it’s not using my AMD drivers for some reason.

Remove Nvidia driver first.
