From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

As others have said, nvidia will work but you're better off with amd for the GPU. CPU brand doesn't really matter.
If you're duel booting, I definitely recommend two separate drives, one for each OS. Use the bios boot selector to boot between the two. It makes things much much easier if they're not sharing a drive
I'd say CPU doesn't matter in terms of compatibility, but that AMD does have the edge at the moment on Intel in terms of performance, energy use, etc. Especially considering Intel's problems with their 13th and 14th gen Core CPUs.
