Greetings all. A friend of mine is giving me 2 - GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING X 6G GPUs. I know my motherboard supports multiple gpu's however I am not sure if the current, (Stock) Radeon driver will support them. According to PSI the kernel is 5.4.53 and according to blender, sysinfo reports 'Linux-5.4.53-x86_64-with-glibc2.31'.
Here are my questions.
I believe that the opengl version would need to be upgraded to use one or both of these cards?
Would I need to upgrade the kernel to do that?
Here is my opengl info, (if that helps).
Do I need to compile a specific driver or is there already one out there for fossa64?

I see that Blender 3.2 says it supports radeon pro cards as seen here. https://www.phoronix.com/review/blender-32-gpus.
Looks like this might be a bit out of my league and I am wondering if I should attempt it?
Thanks in advance for the advice.
