Graphics card upgrade

 I picked up a very nice AMD RX 7800 XT graphics card with 16 GB vram.

Now, I run Ubuntu 23.10 and when I replaced the card, I assumed I would have to reinstall because of all the posts I read online that basically said a lot of bad stuff about the AMD card.

But, put it in, rebooted, Ubuntu came up like normal, except logging into gnome I found I was running Wayland and, to be honest, so far I have found it to be smoother and pretty nice in general.  When I opened Steam back up, it automatically installed some updates, I fired up a couple of games and they worked fine.

So, I am guessing I will stick with wayland and my AMD graphic card for now to see how it goes.
