Fortunately, this fucking windows partition I only keep for VR with my shitty Oculus Rift CV1 reminds me how fucked up the alternative is. I can't fucking wait to get a Steam Frame and ditch it.

Out of curiosity what were the old and new GPUs?

That's a particularly lengthy effort, even for Windows, so I'm wondering if you switched from nvidia to AMD or something major like that. Only thing I would have done differently is uninstall the old graphics driver before switching the hardware - but that is perhaps a very old expectation, so I don't know that it'd be reasonable in your case

5700xt -> 9070xt

I recently switched from a 3070ti to a 9070xt on CachyOS. I just followed their guide and it was flawless: https://wiki.cachyos.org/features/chwd/gpu_migration/
