Can someone please tell me the difference between these 2 drivers of Xorg ?
xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu
xorg-x11-drv-ati
They both seem to do the same thing.

Including spam? Not everybody wants all of their email kept on the

Well I set the retention policy to 90 days and it went ahead and deleted
all my mails from the server in that time period. Now I don't know what to
do. It permanently deleted them. This is why I don't use email clients.
Any way to recover them ?

lspci shows you what exists in the hardware whether it is being used
for not, whether you have a driver that can use it or not.
And kmod list shows you what drivers have loaded because it found
valid hardware for it, and you have amdgpu loaded so you are using it.
