Like literally pull my disk out of a gaming nvidia machine, and plug it into my AMD machine with full working graphics.

This should work already, i switched from nvidia to amd this year by swapping the cards and removing the nvidia drivers some time later.

I guess it's because the drivers only apply to their specific hardware, so no problems having amd and nvidia drivers present at the same time.

The kernel drivers were never an issue, but userspace drivers fixed this many years ago with glvnd.

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.
