I am waiting on the release of the Volla Phone Plinius. Gonna get the one with ubuntu touch. TBH the only reason for that, is that I really lioe how it looks. I don’t really enjoy the look of the Jolla with the notch and the huge bottom bezel. But I am just nitpicky. They both don’t use the mainline linux kernel. But maybe if enough people switch, hardware manufacturers will be forced to provide mainline linux firmware instead of OEMs having to create their own custom linux kernel.

You know what, you’re right in a way. I would honestly rather spend the extra €100 and get guaranteed results, especially since I want to water-cool and get as much performance out of that bad boy. Someone else mentioned the Ryzen 9 7900X3D, but that one is almost always out of stock, and even when it isn’t, it costs almost €700. Thank you for the links, though, in case I need them.

It is just a pain in the ass to find out what network module exactly is being used in the motherboard before buying it. ASUS only says the ethernet is Realtek, and that’s about it. I just hope that those one or two online probes I saw of the board on Arch that said it worked OOTB were correct.
