Not really. Default drivers should work just fine. If you want to make sure they're installed and running, run the following in a terminal:
glxinfo | grep Mesa
If you have any output, you have Mesa. It'll tell you what version you have as well.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

yes it’s installed, also is there a program I can use to configure? Something like NVIDIA control panel but for AMD
I like corectl for overclocking and whatnot. But as far as I know there isn't something similar to Nvidia control panel on windows
I've personally never heard of or used any driver control panels for mesa. It just works with 0 fuss for me. If you mean graphical settings, your desktop environment's control panel should have some knobs and buttons.
yes. I tried rebootingYou could also uninstall the NVIDIA driver to get the proprietary taint out of the kernel.
Read more here, but a tainted kernel isn't usually an issue if you decide not to uninstall it.
The hard truth is that you don’t need to do anything else, AMD just works (or don’t) but that’s all.

On a gaming/user oriented distro like Pop, you probably have most of it already. Still good for info.
@Yoru Is amdgpu driver installed? Check it with “inxi -G” (install inxi if it’s not already).
it’s installed
