Motherboards brands ?

Considering the quality of the circuitry on the pcb, stability and quality of a well-made bios, what is your first choice among motherboard brands?

I tend to go towards Asrock as they tend to be pretty good reliability and performance for the price.

Re: Motherboards brands ?

If I would build a new PC for Linux, I would also pick an ASRock motherboard. ASUS motherboards are expensive, and cheap models quality is not so good. Gigabyte and MSI have poor Linux support, especially MSI (but there are some exceptions). So, for now, ASRock and Intel (If you will find it) motherbords are the best choice for Linux. But still, you have to check for compatibility, for example here: https://www.linuxcompatible.org/compati … therboard/
