Wine DX11 Not Functioning After Upgrading GPU

General Help
22

Sadly I no longer have the card so I can't re-install the card to remove the nvidia drivers properly. I generated a xorg.conf and put it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and it makes no mention of nvidia. My ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log also does not mention nvidia. So it's quite strange that the system appears to be still using the nvidia drivers, any other ways I might be able to force disable the nvidia drivers?

Or worst-case scenario is there a clean way to re-install the operating system hopefully with all traces of nvidia removed. I already have a seperate /home partition.

This didn't catch all nvidia related packages, changing it out for sudo apt remove --purge *nvidia* && sudo apt autoremove got some more, though after a reboot nothing else changed.

Have you tried (and I dunno if your card is supported): https://www.amd.com/en/support/linux-drivers

Supported cards:

I went through the installation procedure listed out on the zorinOS website:

And downloaded the version under the software tab for my specific card (6600 XT,) though nothing changed. (secure boot is disabled)

Thanks for everyones help in trying to resolve this issue. In case anyone else is running into a similar issue in the future here is my advice:

Don't bother trying to fix this, make sure your /home is on a different partition.
Re-install with an install USB and make sure you don't nuke your home partition.
On the new system jump to a TTY and orbital strike the auto-created /home
Mount your saved partition to /home and add it to your fstab.
Re-install a couple of apps
Go on with the rest of your life, trying to preserve the install is not worth it.
