Linux Hardware Database
linux-hardware.org
A database of all the hardware that works under linux

I see the raise of popularity of Linux laptops so the hardware compatibility is ready out of the box. However I wonder how would I build PC right know that has budget - high end specification. For now I’m thinking

  • Case: does not matter
  • Fans: does not matter
  • PSU: does not matter
  • RAM: does not matter I guess?
  • Disks: does not matter I guess?
  • CPU: AMD / Intel - does not matter but I would prefer AMD
  • GPU: AMD / Intel / Nvidia - for gaming and Wayland - AMD, for AI, ML, CUDA and other first supported technologies - Nvidia.

And now the most confusing part for me - motherboard… Is there even some coreboot or libreboot motherboard for PC that supports “high end” hardware?

Let’s just say also a purpose of this Linux PC. Choose any of these

  1. Blender 3D Animation rendering
  2. Gaming
  3. Local LLM running

If you have some good resources on this also let me know.

    I would be surprised if any modern network interface didn’t work well with Linux. The only problems I have had is on hardware over 7 years of age. Also SSDs are all pretty good. As long as it has a good warranty you are fine. Just avoid the cheap Chinese brands.

    You can totally get a random machine and then install Linux. It just works these days.
