Hi, I have two kids and myself playing all kind of games on Steam 
mainly, with protonplay (Steam customized Wine version), on regular 
Wine, or standalone version (like GOG versions). All of us use AMD cards 
and we could not be happier, I would not go back to dealing with Nvidia 
drivers for anything. We used "Polaris10" generation cards (like RX570 
and RX580), "Vega10" generation (Vega RX 56), and currently "Navy10" 
(5700XT).
With Debian Stable you might have to use backports packages for optimal 
performances with the latest generation of GPU, but any 
Polaris/Vega/RadeonVII should work fine. Here we run Debian Unstable for 
the gaming/multimedia machines and everything just works without the use 
of any proprietary drivers (aside from the firmware provided by the 
non-free Debian "firmware-amd-graphics" package.

For game specific compatibility reports the "protondb" website maintains 
a good database [1], but it is only valid for Steam "Protonplay" 
platform. Of course there are many native games which run great with 
Debian and an AMD card, if you have a few specific titles in mind feel 
free to ask.

Hope it helps.
