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.

Yep, it just works out of the box, that's how nice the drivers are! You get updates to them as part of your Kubuntu updates, although there's a PPA to install newer Mesa if you really want to. But for the most part, unless you need specific features of newer versions like for a new game release or a just released GPU, you can use the one that you already have just fine.
There's no control panel because it all uses generic interfaces that also works for Intel and all other open-source drivers. For example, monitor configuration is configured from your DE's display settings. You do need a third party GUI for overclocking.
If using Wayland, things like variable refresh rate is enabled by default and works out of the box. When HDR is ready, that will be turned on by default too most likely.
