Can anyone point me to a list of supported motherboards ?
I'm building a new PC and looking either the Asus z790 Maximus Hero or the Asus z90 Maximus Formula motherboards but I'm having trouble confirming that these motherboards are supported.
There was the HCL, which was never very up to date, and now redirects to <https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Hardware>
This may not be of much help, but I've been installing SuSE/openSUSE on all kinds of laptops, desktops, workstations, and servers since 1998 and I've yet to encounter an incompatibility. True, there used to be some issues with laptop special function keys and WiFi interfaces, but I haven't seen even that for many years. The servers include Dell, HP, and Supermicro, all worked well. The desktops included Dell, HP, MSI, Asus, Lenovo, and others. I even set up a dual-CPU Supermicro server that had 246 separate, non-raided disk drives. I've got other servers with 500-terabytes of raid storage and 512-GB of ECC ram. All running openSUSE. So basically, I'd be surprised if you could find a motherboard that wouldn't be compatible with openSUSE or Tumbleweed. I don't know if you could do this any longer, but one time I brought a bootable USB thumb drive to a Fry's computer store and asked if I could boot one of their display laptops using the SuSE rescue system on the stick. They let me, and it worked. I then purchased the laptop. But that being said, I can't say anything about your Asus mobo's, your mileage may vary. Regards, Lew
