In the end the new GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card ended out just slightly above the Radeon RX 7600 in terms of overall performance. The Radeon RX 6000/7000 series on their open-source Linux GPU driver stack continue to perform very competitively with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30/40 series and their respective proprietary driver stack. Thanks to the work by AMD, Valve, Red Hat, and other parties on the open-source Radeon Linux driver stack the Linux gaming scene continues to become quite vibrant while NVIDIA also continues providing their first-rate binary Linux driver support on Linux that remains in excellent shape largely due to the shared driver code-base with Windows.

Should be GCN 1.0 so should be supported now, especially if you force the amdgpu kernel driver. Although I'm sure you've long since abandoned it.

If it was a dual/hybrid GPU type setup which was common at the time, that also complicates things but it should be okay now.

Thanks, I may give that old apart-falling piece a shot.

I was working on integrated Intel graphics most of the time.
