I've had an AMD graphics card like 8 years ago and I couldn't even install Linux. It crashed within the installer every single time.

It changed around RDNA I think? They pushed a new driver stack that works on all FOSS software and then offer their proprietary driver as an optional firmware blob.

This new driver amdgpu (and amdpro) replaces radeon.
