I had issues with an ASUS board when it was new. Now it's old, several BIOS updates later, it's the perfect Linux machine. I only struggle with an IRQ issue for a new audio card, something that can happen with every mobo. Btw. today I don't care anymore, if there should be new BIOS updates. I nearly forgot, the SATA connectors don't have clips, IIRC no mobo had SATA connectors with clips at that time. Very often Intel is recommended, but Intel is very expensive and if you search the web, you'll find enough issues for Intel mobos too. Buying a new mobo is a gamble. There's no knowledge about good, bad and ugly mobos. There might be some exceptions. It's always good to keep an old mobo as long as possible, better for our planet and better regarding to BIOS updates or what ever today does replace the BIOS. Before vendors fix issues with Linux, they fix issues with Windows, so regarding to updates older mobos tend to be better for Linux.
