No idea about NVIDIA's propietary drivers, you'll have to see what NVIDIA says about that. As for AMD RX 5000 cards, I think they probably work somewhat with 4.19, but I'd recommend grabbing a a newer Kernel >=5.4 from backports, if you want to use it with debian for gaming. > I only need Debian GNU/Linux to detect it and know which GPU is to > passthrough it to my Windows gaming VM, to play Windows-only games. For > Debian I already have Intel's IGPU. I may be mistaken, but doesn't a proper GPU passthrough mean, the GPU to be passed through is never used by the host system and only by the guest (Windows) ? Meaning wherever or not the GPU works with Debian (your host) is irrelevant as the GPU will only be used by MS Windows as if MS Windows was the host itself ?
