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.
Ah, faulty hardware.
I got more open to prebuilt PCs when I could not upgrade any single component of my home PC, the motherboard still had AGP slot. It is also an option when you are buying a PC-in-a-monitor build, upgrading anything there is a fool’s errand. But for regular PCs it was considerably cheaper ten years ago to buy every component separately, and then they just click in place like LEGOs. The chances of burning your custom-built PC are like, you need serious crab hands to mount it that poorly.
