apparently there are only windows 10 drivers available to mine

The drivers in the kernel are your only option, then. Or the Obiaf Drivers...
Can you elevate to root:
ctrl+alt+t to open terminal, then:
sudo -i
Launch the file manager
nautilus
Navigate to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and right click an open area, select create new document
Name it 10-amgdpu.conf
Paste the following into it:
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "AMDgpu"
MatchDriver "amdgpu"
Driver "modesetting"
#Option "PrimaryGPU" "No"
EndSection
Save the file and reboot to test.

Do I have to install anything before doing this?
Nope. The above file is to try to call on the drivers already present in the kernel.

there is no "/xorg.conf.d" directory in my X11 folder, should I create it?
Yes, go ahead and create the folder, then the directory... Makes me wonder about the chances of this helping, now LOL
that's what I was thinking haha, maybe the in my computer that's in another directory? I have a separate partition for root, swap and home, would that maybe have something to do with it? I mean, it does have the /etc/X11/ it's just missing the xorg.conf.d/ really
What I was thinking was that you have no dedicated Intel Graphics card, actually.
Is it AMDGPU only?
OP said:
I have a Lenovo IdeaPad S145 with an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U and an RX Vega 8
I think there is no place for Intel chips.
As I understand it: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U RX Vega 8 is the full name of the GPU.
yeah, also I just finished rebooting after creating the file and it didn't work, is that why?
MB- got it. And AMD probably wont put an intel gpu on their AMD motherboard...
Well...
hmm...
I'm pretty bad when it comes to the hardware part so correct me if I'm wrong, isn't Rx Vega 8 the gpu?
It is as probable as Sun rises from the West.
It is.
And I am honestly stumped. AMD all the way around - with Limited support on Linux from AMD.
It is a graphics part of CPU.
It is integrated in CPU.
