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!
