From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So, as this is a Linux community, do you expect anything but an astounding "Yes!"?
Going through the rest of your post, you'd have to be cautious with the Nvidia GPU. It can go anywhere from working almost seamlessly without any tinkering to causing nigh-unsolvable problems you (regretfully) might have to work around.
But, aside from that, you should be pretty much good to go.
Absolutely. Just replaced my 3080 with an AMD 9060 on opensuse and everything is smooth as butter. The AMD drivers are part of the linux kernel itself.
