I thought you were using Win7. This doesn't apply to you.
Or multiple computers, some with Windows 7, some with Linux ?
In any case, the GPUs should have the hardware decoding capability that will apply to any OS.

None of these GPUs are remotely fast enough for hardware encoding that could be worth it. One could maybe do it at some ultra low quality, but then the already existing h264/5 implementations provide a much better experience.

Ok, I'll bite. HEVC encode in hardware is with us for a couple of years already (I don't know if that is the case on Linux, but at least on Windows). Also the patent situation around HEVC drove all the big hardware, software and streaming platform vendors together to form AV1 (and AVIF) - if that doesn't put weight behind these formats, then what?
Until we see more HEVC or AV1 consumer devices we won't see more HEVC or AV1 support in other areas like PC software and hardware...or the other way around depending on what day of the week it is.
