Building mini itx

hello ..I am building a new pc with a mini ITX motherboard Gigabyte GA-H77N I would really like to run the machine on Linux if possible ...how can I find out if it is linux compatible ..the Gigabyte website says this .

.Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.

Is there a database which lists compatible motherboards for linux ?


The chipset on this motherboard is Intel® H77 Express Chipset

I would be most grateful for any information ..thank you .

This board should not be an issue for current or recent Linux distributions. Intel chipsets are well-supported by Linux. This warning from Gigabyte is a CYAP (Cover your Assets in Paper) disclaimer - something their lawyers told them to do to avoid liability.

FWIW, I use Intel motherboards exclusively, and have NEVER had an issue with any of them.
