Hello,
I cannot answer to your question, just point to some elements.
What really changed recently is the move from Nvidia to open-source
their drivers, making it an alternative to those who don't want to use
proprietary drivers:

Phoronix has some informations on graphic cards capabilities:

And there is the Linux database: you can search infos for graphic cards
relative to kernels, distros and drivers used and its functionnel or no
functionnal state:
