My question to you, and to Greg F who also apparently has experience with these things, is: these come with hardware encryption. How does that work with linux, specifically openSUSE of course. Can you boot 42.3 off a hardware encrypted NVMe? If so, anything special need to be done to permit said booting?
That's a bios question, not openSUSE.
Most 3+ year old bios can't boot off of NVMe at all.
Machine build date is 2017-10-30. BIOS date is 2017-10-17. I don't see anything in BIOS/UEFI that deals with booting off a NVMe, encrypted or not, but maybe that's because there's no NVMe installed at the moment.
I just looked at a new AsRock X299 MB. It had 3 NVMe slots. They are current generation storage.
