I was just really happy when I was doing my research, logged on to AMD’s site, and saw that they make drivers for Linux. I’m planning to use my new PC for gaming on Windows, with a USB stick-boot for Mint so I can do everything non-gaming in privacy.
Gaming on Linux has grown by leaps and bounds, especially if you use steam/proton (And you can run proton on things outside of steam). You should give it a shot before you install Windows to see if it can fit your needs, and only have to deal with 1 operating system.
I use Garuda Linux, and it comes pre-configured to work very well for gaming.
I ran a Mint / Windows dual boot last summer for about six weeks, and only 2/3 of my gaming library was compatible with Linux, so unfortunately, for me it’s necessary to have a Windows install. I’m not dual booting anymore due to compatibility issues, but love that I can boot from USB and do pretty much everything I need to do non-gaming wise.
I have a new PC coming tomorrow and it’s an AMD.
