I've been using integrated graphics card since I've gotten my computer. I didn't knew how unsmooth we're graphics 'till I got this Radeon card from 2013. Tho it's quite old, it really made entire desktop experience appear a lot smoother. Also card installation process was literally plug-n-play, I didn't had to install any driver. I've just plugged it to motherboard and it have worked.

My (abandoned) 12 year old Ubuntu installation went through several mother boards and graphics cards, and I never had to reinstall a driver manually.

I haven't experienced issues with my Ryzen 7 5700 with the integrated GPU. I play Grand Theft Auto via Proton on Arch and it works well.

of course you didn't. Your hardware is pretty new, mine is from win 7 era.

Ah yes, I hadn't read quite closely enough. Still good that by adding a proper GPU, you extended the life of your system!
