Motherboard ROG ZENITH EXTREME;ASUS

[old-boy]

Hi all I've just got an email back from the ASUS support site to be informed that there are no linux drivers for my motherboard.
ASUS ROG Zenith Extreme

I am not looking forward to going back to windows bloat os.

Can any one help.

Kind regards Bryce from Tasmania Australia

Linux Mint installation live usb fails to boot ? Do you get any error messages ?

I haven't tried to install mint on the machine yet; I just wondered if there were any kernals or drivers available for the motherboard.

I contacted the manufacturer and was told they only support windows os.

Thanks for the reply.

I am running Mint 19 Cinnamon on my Asus ROG Zenith Extreme and it seems to be fine. I have Windows 10 on a separate drive in the machine.

Installation went fine once I got my drive properly formatted.

I used Windows to make bootable usb following the instructions here: https://linuxmint-installation-guide.re ... en/latest/

Nice little bit of kit, there.

Linux supports the X399 chipset and Threadripper CPUs. Less sure about drivers for certain peripheral devices like the Wi-Fi card or the network adapters.

Keep us posted. I'm planning a 1920X and X399 Prime-A build for later in the year.

Best thing is to try using a live usb.
You can check the database too.
