Wait a few months after a new GPU comes out, maybe until the next major version cycle (like if you want a new card that comes out in November, wait until the 21.04 Ubuntu/PopOS release). I bought my RX 5700XT shortly after release, and was using alpha/beta kernel releases and downloading extra files manually for several months after to run, then an upgrade/update may turn into a blank screen on boot for me. It also broke out of the box support for running full VMs, which was pretty painful for me as well, and I wasn't going down that rabbit hole to try and build it myself. YMMV of course.. but that's just my take on it.. I bought specifically for Linux support, but took a few months to shake out.
