Which motherboard manufacture(s) are the most Linux-friendly? [closed]

I am looking to upgrade my motherboard to support DDR3, USB 3.0, and socket AM3+ CPUs. I have used Gigabyte and ASRock motherboards without any serious issues. I have been a fan of AMD for years now and try to stick with them. Which motherboard manufacture(s) are the most Linux-friendly?

Solution 1:

I think any manufacturer that supplies Linux drivers are OK. Personally, I would use Intel or Gigabyte. If you want complete hardware compatibility with Ubuntu, then you may want to check out the Ubuntu Hardware Support page.

Solution 2:

ALWAYS do your research on the particular motherboard first. Some people say to use Gigabyte but they had an issue a few years back

Gigabyte, install windows to fix linux

I personally had an issue installing ubuntu 12.04 server on a Gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3 to which their tech support said to install windows to fix my ethernet problem.

Google the motherboard you want and see if there are any issues. Even if a particular brand is said to be linux friendly, it doesn't matter because you are only getting one motherboard and it needs to work.
