GPU Selection before downloading the installation files
Hi, I'm a long time Windows user and would like to make my first steps towards switching to Linux.
Since my main usecases are "use a browser" and "game a bit" Bazzite seems right for me.
However I'm a bit confused about downloading the installation files.
To try it out, I'm using an HP Laptop 15-db0205ng. (I'm not switching over my main machine just jet)
Easy enough, that would be AMD. However, the options are seperated into 3 categories:
Under "Older/Legacy GPUs" ther's: "AMD (HD/200/300/RX)".
Neither mention Vega at all, leving me a bit torn between the two.
On the one Hand, Vega 8 is (at least in my opinion) a resonably modern (if on-board) GPU.
On the other hand it is definiteley not an RX 4xx+.
But then again it is also not an HD, 200, 300 or RX GPU either.
So, what option would be correct here?

- The laptop CPU is an: "AMD Ryzen™ 5 2500"
- with an on-board: "AMD Radeon™ Vega 8"
Easy enough, that would be AMD. However, the options are seperated into 3 categories:
- "Modern GPUs"
- "Older/Legacy GPUs".
- "Even Older GPUs" (I'll ignore that one, since it is just grayed out entirely.)

Solution
but if you just want a Windows replacement yeah it doesn't matter, just desktop should be fine
