I see the raise of popularity of Linux laptops so the hardware compatibility is ready out of the box. However I wonder how would I build PC right know that has budget - high end specification. For now I’m thinking
- Case: does not matter
- Fans: does not matter
- PSU: does not matter
- RAM: does not matter I guess?
- Disks: does not matter I guess?
- CPU: AMD / Intel - does not matter but I would prefer AMD
- GPU: AMD / Intel / Nvidia - for gaming and Wayland - AMD, for AI, ML, CUDA and other first supported technologies - Nvidia.
And now the most confusing part for me - motherboard… Is there even some coreboot or libreboot motherboard for PC that supports “high end” hardware?
Let’s just say also a purpose of this Linux PC. Choose any of these
- Blender 3D Animation rendering
- Gaming
- Local LLM running
If you have some good resources on this also let me know.
As far as I know, the highest-end motherboard that supports Libreboot is an Opteron – not Epyc, Opteron – dual-socket server board from about a decade ago.
In a short - no. I was thinking of not using proprietary firmware on motherboard but I see that is not possible.
Might be in future. Amd want to use open source agesa.
pretty sure the msi pro -a z690/z790 has coreboot support (12/13/14th gen Intel)
