Sure, I could just google this, and I have! However, the results are a bit confusing:

Plex Documentation

"Only Intel and Nvidia" Sure, cool.

Literally every other forum discussing this stuff

"Oh yeah I used my [Not Intel or Nvidia chip] and it worked out of the box"

So which is it? Because I'm really not interested on supporting Intel, but if getting HW Transcoding Plex requires them then I'll have to consider migrating to Jellyfin.

Ah, the docs say AMD isn't officially supported but it does work for some GPUs, but is that just for Windows or does that apply to Linux too?

It is a bit confusing and hard to untangle. There is CPU and GPU transcoding. From my experience (running Plex on Linux for 7 or 8 years) I can tell you CPU transcoding does not work with Ryzen, GPU transcoding does work with Nvidia. That's all I can tell you though, because that's the hardware I have.
