I just installed the amdgpu-pro drivers from AMD's official website.
But now some apps are not working that well and I heard that Mesa drivers were superior.
How do I uninstall these drivers and replace them with Mesa?
I downloaded the drivers from: https://www.amd.com/en/support
Followed the following steps:
tar -xJvf amdgpu-pro_*.tar.xzcd amdgpu-pro-XX.XX-XXXXXX./amdgpu-pro-install -y
drivers amd-graphics mesa amdgpu-pro

How you uninstall something depends entirely upon how you installed in the first place. Please edit your question to clearly describe how you installed apdgpu-pro drivers. If you followed instructions, a link to those instructions would be very helpful.

Look inside that .tar.xz file (or inside that directory you created from it) for a README or INSTALL file. One of those files should include both install and uninstall instructions - that's the standard for those files.

"Mesa" is not separate from AMDGPU. The fully open source drivers are already installed in the system. Simply uninstalling amdgpu-pro by following the directions in its package, and rebooting should get you back to the open source only stack.
RE: Mesa, the Pro drivers simply update some components of the open source AMD driver stack, while adding a few still proprietary parts on top. You are still using Mesa with the Pro drivers.
