LGA-1700 Motherboard?

Purchase Advice

I was very happily running Linux Mint Cinnamon until my motherboard up and died today. RIP Asus Z790-F Rog Strix.

I don't want to replace my other hardware yet, so I was looking at Gigabyte Z790 EAGLE AX as a replacement.

Has anyone got one of these boards, and will I be OK with what Linux Mint provides? One person said Gigabyte support was poor.

Do I stick with Asus and hope the next board lasts longer, I can't get a Z790-F but there is a Z790 Plus board now.
