Hi,
I was hoping to make sure I have the latest/best drivers installed on my AMD mini PC (with integrated graphics).
When looking online, this article tends to pop up saying what should be done after installing Garuda for the first time ( 10 Essential Things to do After Installing Garuda Linux | Average Linux User ) . Number 2 on the list mentions you can run a tool under: Garuda Settings Manager → Hardware Configuration → Click Auto Install Proprietary Drivers
However when I open Settings Manager (I do not see a "Garuda Settings Manager" when I search) I do not have a "Hardware Configuration" menu option.
I may have made some choices during installation that avoided installing this menu option? Or maybe this article is out of date?
I was hoping to figure out if the functionality of this hardware menu is available anywhere else? Or if I can add it back in?
Also a secondary thing, do I even have to worry about drivers? I believe I installed AMD drivers weeks ago when I set this up, but I can't remember how I did it and am worried I am un-wittingly running less performant drivers. I am able to run games but it's unclear if I am missing any performance.
Sorry if this is is a clueless post. While I am a Linux enthusiast, this is my first time using Arch and I generally don't get to use Linux at work or on my main Gaming PC. I am using it here because this mini PC gave me an excuse to use it daily, while I'm living away from home for work.
