I have an older GPU (rx 470) and I play games that probably aren't super new so my main concerns were mainly my tech literacy and fear of fucking something up xD
RX470 is fully supported with the latest drivers. Anything from Radeon HD 7000 (GCN2) series from ~10 years ago and newer uses AMDGPU with (almost) all features available. GCN1 is experimental but also works.
Older cards use the Radeon driver and miss out on Vulkan.
I didn't really do any CLI commands on nobara. So it's pretty straightforward. I guess the best experience might be with AMD.
I'm running a ryzen 7 and gtx 2080ti( I think ).
It's about 4 years old, but it still gets the job done. I've had no gfx issues. Nobara installed the nvidia drivers on its own.
If you have a spare HD. I'd recommend giving it a try. I ran popos parallel for a short while to try out gaming.
I was angry and leaped off the deep end. New OS and everything. I have a technical background so with google I probably could save my own ass :D
