You don't need the proprietary AMD drivers, those included in the kernel are on par mostly. If you want to compare them check out Phoronix [0]. Freesync works with in kernel drivers for sure, it was a little work, but worth it. Used it before I sold my undervolted RX570, can't say how the situation is with newer cards. Arch Wiki [1],[2] is an invaluable resource as always, applies to other distros as well. If your base is Ubuntu you will need newer Mesa packages, which you can get here [3] (more recent/bleeding edge but used by default by some distributions, the one tested by Phoronix) or there [4] [0] https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=radeon-rx6000-vulkan&num=1 [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU#Overclocking [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Variable_refresh_rate [3] https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers [4] https://launchpad.net/~ernstp/+archive/ubuntu/mesarc?field.series_filter=focal.

You need a heatsink for the PCIe4 SSDs to get their full performance, PCIe3 SSDs are fine without. My goto for HW knowledge is https://anandtech.com.
