Motherboard recommendations

[Aaron Gray]

Hi,

I am looking for Motherboard recommendations for Qubes, either DD3 or DDR4 based, either Intel or AMD based.

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron

Please refer to the Hardware Compatibility List if you're in no situation to go blind or full YOLO on some hardware.

https://www.qubes-os.org/hcl/

Anything in the list that has all green(yes) on columns from HVM column to Kernel column should be good. Disregard "unknown" of TPM Column as it likely means the submitter of the HCL report file didn't bother checking the status of the TPM nor bothered configuring/trying to make it work.

Note that the TPM only matters with high regard if you want to make Anti-evil maid work. For more information check:

Once you have picked a hardware candidate, be sure to thoroughly read the remarks as it is your key to getting things to work should some extra pre-configuration was needed for installation to finish properly.

Mind you that on my first time of getting Qubes to work properly, I had to do tons of research and understanding to finally get it going nicely. If you're really determined for this then it's time to steel that determination some more and it also depends on your luck.
