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.

Not really. Default drivers should work just fine. If you want to make sure they're installed and running, run the following in a terminal:
If you have any output, you have Mesa. It'll tell you what version you have as well.
yes it’s installed, also is there a program I can use to configure? Something like NVIDIA control panel but for AMD
I like corectl for overclocking and whatnot. But as far as I know there isn't something similar to Nvidia control panel on windows
I've personally never heard of or used any driver control panels for mesa. It just works with 0 fuss for me. If you mean graphical settings, your desktop environment's control panel should have some knobs and buttons.
