You might find a little more about those versions by looking at en.wikipedia.org, although the amount of information, and the similarity of some of the names, can be overwhelming. But I think all of those use the amdgpu driver (should work fine on linux, with the required firmware). From memory, I think all of those you listed are variants of Polaris. Unfortunately, I don't have any of those - too worried about power consumption and heat! ĸen -- To say that it (his hair) was black and bound up in a ponytail is to miss the opportunity of using the term 'elephantine'.
