GeForce 200 series, Quadro with Tesla architecture and newer are supported on both Windows and Linux. This covers the NVIDIA GPUs released in the last 10 years. GCN 1 st gen and newer architectures are supported on both Windows and Linux.
Terascale architecture cards are not working reliably, mainly on Windows. See the list of AMD GPUs to check which architecture your card has.
Unfortunately, this does mean some GPUs released in the last 10 years are not officially supported. No Terascale OpenGL drivers have been released for Windows in the last 3 years. On Linux, drivers do continue to be updated and Blender tends to work better. But for good performance GCN is still required. Intel graphics for Haswell and newer are supported and generally working well. See the list of Intel GPUs to check which architecture your processor has.
There are a few bugs planned to be fixed still, related to selection and reflections in Eevee on specific graphics cards. On Windows, earlier GPU generations have issues with Eevee due to bugs in the driver. No significant driver updates have been released in the last 3 years for these GPUs. On Linux, the situation is better as the drivers continue to be updated, but for good performance newer GPUs are recommended. OK I’ve installed Linux Mint 19.3 in a dual boot configuration, alongside Windows 7/7 Pro, on 4 of my Ivy Bridge/Older CPU generation Intel core i series based laptops. So I have installed Blender 2.79a on the 2 Sandy Bridge Generation and 1 Arrandale/Westmere Intel core i series based laptops on both the Windows 7 and Linux Mint 19.3 partitions on the 3 oldest laptops. That leaves my one Ivy Bridge Intel Core i7(3632QM) based laptop that also has an AMD Radeon 7650M(Terascale GPU Micro-architecture) discrete mobile GPU. And I have been testing that laptop with a stand alone Blender 2.82a evaluation that i just downloaded and extracted onto a directory on Linux Mint 19.3. So on this laptop(HP ProBook 4540s) I’m having no issues using the Blender 2.82a default edit mode work-spaces tabs under Linux Mint 19.3.
