The Ryzen 7 5800H is a CPU, not a GPU. It does not require a specific driver for Linux as it is supported by the Linux kernel. However, if you have a dedicated graphics card (GPU) in your system, you may need to install drivers for it to work properly. To check if you have a dedicated GPU, you can run the command "lspci" in a terminal and look for a line that refers to a VGA or Display controller. This will show you the model of your GPU.

If you have an AMD Radeon graphics card, you can download and install the "AMDGPU" driver, which is included in the Linux kernel. To check if it is installed, you can run the command "lsmod | grep amdgpu" in a terminal.

If you have an NVIDIA graphics card, you can download and install the proprietary NVIDIA driver from the NVIDIA website. This driver provides better performance than the open-source Nouveau driver, but it is not included in the Linux kernel.

Keep in mind that installing GPU drivers on Linux can be more complex than on Windows, and may require additional steps such as blacklisting the Nouveau driver or configuring Xorg. It is recommended to follow the documentation for your specific distribution and GPU.

You can find documentation for your NVIDIA graphics card on the NVIDIA website. Specifically, you'll want to look for the documentation for your specific graphics card model. For your AMD/ATI graphics card, you can find documentation on the AMD website. Again, look for the documentation specific to your graphics card model.

As for blacklisting the Nouveau driver or configuring Xorg, you can find information on these topics in the Ubuntu documentation. Specifically, you may want to look at the documentation for the "nvidia" driver and the "amdgpu" driver, depending on which graphics card you want to use. You can also find information on configuring Xorg in the Ubuntu documentation. Specifically, look for the section on configuring Xorg using the "xorg.conf" file.
