Do I actually need to do anything to go from GeForce to Radeon?

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.

A heads up if you have a G-Sync monitor from that same era: it may not do variable rate with Freesync. I was ready to pull the trigger and upgrade my 1080 Ti to an AMD card when I caught that detail. So now I need to justify the cost of a new main monitor as well if I want to have smooth variable refresh. Good luck!
My Gigabyte...what's this thing's model number? M34WQ is AMD Freesync compatible but not Nvidia G-Sync. Wait, do either of those two technologies work with Linux?
Freesync works with Linux on AMD, but only over DisplayPort.
My main monitor is already attached via DP, my secondary is actually DVI but it doesn't matter, that's my youtube/Wiki monitor.
Does FreeSync need any configuration of some kind, or just enable it in-game?
Only supported in KDE, Sway, Hyprland, and gamescope as of right now. Also supported in X11.

No config. It should just work
