Is anyone using this board for any Linux distributions? How is the Linux graphics and audio support?

I recently used this board to build a tri booting Hackintosh, Windows 8.1, Ubuntu Linux machine. It's very stable and good support under all three operating systems. Only the bluetooth didn't work reliably in the hackintosh configuration so I disabled that before I installed the ubuntu partition. So I guess I'm not sure if the bluetooth module works ubuntu. Instructions for the hackintosh are on tonymacx86.com

It does work with Ubuntu out of the box. I can't speak to other distros, but I know Schiit has put effort into this product working with Linux. They've marketed it a few times and demonstrated it running on Ubuntu and as the M&M stack being good sound that young people can actually afford. And it running on Linux was a big part of that. So I would assume that anything called "Audiophile Linux", which I have previously not heard of, would be right up their alley for this product.

says on side of box works with windows. and 350 watt power supply req. so no mention of linux. says directx by ms. so might not work. email the mfg if want to.

It should treat the box as an external sound card. In this case, it should work. Linux has OOB drivers, unlike Windows and the need to download and install drivers. This being said, it should work with Linux.

I plugged mine into a Linux Ubuntu Minimal install and it worked without issues. No software install required, no special drivers. It just works.

Yes, but unfortunately not with Linux. If anyone has found the drivers and software that works under Linux, please post.

It has a standard PCI interface. If your board has that then it should work. It's a middle quality board. The driver is low quality but you can research the chip manufacturer and download the native driver with lower overhead but less features. You get what you pay for and this board is better than no sound, which is what I had. If you want a high quality gamer, research the different sound card chip sets and find a board with a high performance architecture.

I have not tried this board for gaming specifically. But I did try Team Fortress 2 for linux using this board and got very playable framerates with little skipping using the A8-5600K processor's GPU. If you used a discreet GPU, this board would be fine. However, you probably won't be using the APU of what you slot on this motherboard to the fullest.

It has run flawlessly for the past year. I run Linux on a Raid 0 array. I have 2 gig of ram. Netflix, and videos are great even with standard video. Four gig, and a souped up video card would be marvelous. Master Rod

I also can't answer at this moment. It doesn't work yet because I'm fighting against Win8 and it's hardware to install Linux.

I do not use Linux but it does work perfectly with Windows XP and Windows 7. There were no problems installing it and still use it on one of my computers.

I haven't even been able to get this device to work with linux. I think what you want is IPMI, which is a common feature on commercial-grade motherboards. You might also be able to use wake on LAN + SSH or VNC.

Heavens yes. Also, go to Distrowatch and look at the all the Linux programs out there. It will run those too.Understand this: the people who make the boards, and Intel is excellent here, make them to run in a standard format so any operating system out there can handle them. Further, 10 something is out there and coming down the pike.. that board, and almost all the boards sold on Amazon will handle 10 when it gets here. SOME.. some of the boards are made for older input devices, and older operating systems. NOT the new ones which are universal. It is, by the way, and excellent, excellent board. Heavens yes.

Yes. One of the cool things about Asus is everything they make has linux drivers.
