I’m looking into buying a new system and I wonder which of all the mainboard manufacturers you recommend for Linux in general and gaming in particular? Which ones have the best Linux driver support and which ones publish open source drivers? Are AMD or Intel chipsets preferred?
Also general best bang for the buck recommendations are appreciated!
And yes, I have googled this and I have some ideas, but I’m interested in what my fellow Lemmies think. And I also want this information to be here on Lemmy instead of Reddit or AI generated blogs. If you feel offended by this, you’re totally free to not reply and also down vote this post.
Interesting, I’ve had 3 Gigabyte MOBOs and GPUs. One GPU died after 6 years, which is unfortunate, but seems reasonable. First MOBO is still going strong 10 years later. Have had no issues otherwise.
odd. maybe they ship worse products to smaller countries or something. i also have a gigabyte gpu and it has been a nightmare since day 1, i regret not returning it. suspected bios problems in both gpu and mobo. i have also seen three different instances of quality issues when my friends have bought gigabyte mobos. DOA, one died within a year, one had loose RAM slots and retailer wouldn’t replace it under warranty…
