If you use an AMD gpu, there's actually fewer steps to go from empty disk to playing a game

That's the theory, assuming that the Amd Gpu works with Linux. It might also just crash your system, which is a know problem of the driver, which hasn't been fixed. You have to semi-randomly pass parameters to the kernel, hoping to find something that works.
