As far as I know, the main board compatibility with Linux-libre is not
an
issue. Wifi is an issue if you want it (but that is completely
unrelated to
the main board choice).
Good to know because I reed in another forum in some Asus motherboard
it's
impossible install Ubuntu.
You can pick up any Intel board and additionally enjoy the 3D
acceleration
provided by Intel's graphical chipset. You also want to pay attention
to the
processors you can plug in: you had better take an Intel processor
without
the vPro technology (treacherous computing). This information is easily
found
from Intel's website: just search the name of the processor. Do not
expect a
free BIOS though: as far as I know, coreboot only supports obscure (and
usually obsolete) AMD boards.
I found this information from Intel website, thank's.
About the AMD board, the problem is the board is useless because there
is no support
for the graphic (impossible to use x windows system) or because there is
no support
the 3D acceleration?
I ask this because the campaign for the free bios of fsf suggest to buy
AMD CPU.

Ni hao and welcome. However, if we're talking software, gNewSense is
probably
more stable than Trisquel at least based on their lineage (gNewSense is
based
on Debian and Trisquel on Ubuntu).
Some gNewSense users say the same thing: Trisquel is more stable than
gNewSense,
funny :-)
One way to find out if certain hardware works is to walk to computer
shop
with a Trisquel live CD or USB and try out the machines, if they allow
you to
do that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_CD
Well, the problem is I want to try to do for myself, so I have no chance
to do this.
Besides that you can try to gather general compatibility trends from
http://h-node.org However, note that this information cannot be trusted
because manufacturers swap chipsets without informing the buyer.
h-node website have some helpful information but lack in the motherboard
information.
thank to both
