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.

    Well, for example, my MOBOs Ethernet requires the Realtek out of tree drivers (at least it still did on 6.11), which don’t always compile on the current kernel. Ironically, the WiFi works fine.
