Anyone using this card with any of the Linux variants? If so which one and any setup and/or usage problems?

This card works just fine with Ubuntu 14.04. You will need to compile the kernel driver yourself, but you can do it. If you have any problems, there is a great page that has all the information you will need for setup and all that. It was written for the Infinitv 4 PCIe, but all the steps will work with this model as well. If you want to use it for a totally HTPC build, however, Mythbuntu is a great option (many prefer to use Kodi (formerly XBMC) for the majority of their media and use Myth TV for the TV part. http://www.bsmdevelopment.com/Reference/Sections/InstallNotes-MythTV_section-1.15.html

I currently use this board with PClinuxOS (my main, and preferred OS) and have had no problems with it. I have not used the wireless because I am close enough to my router to use a cable, but it does detect my network so I assume it should work fine. I can't speak to the performance of the onboard video because I use an nvidia card, but it is supported as far as I know.

Mine works fine. Using it on a Linux Mint 17 system with a 26 inch monitor.

YES! this card works great with Ubuntu 12.04. It has onboard hardware RAID that I haven't tested but mdadm gets the job done.

Shouldn't be a problem. I know the Asus Z77 Nuvoton chips have some problems with anything older than the 3.10 kernal. I haven't heard anything wrong with the Gigabyte version though. I think Linux Mint has one or two very select issues? But, this was around a year ago when I heard of the problem. The only issue I've had with the board was the fact that I had to update the BIOS firmware to run a newer graphics card. But, you will probably do that anyway. The LED POST display is super useful if you need to troubleshoot something, just drop the number it shoots out into Google.

I believe this wireless NIC uses the ath9K drivers under Linux, which means it should probably work with most distributions right out of the box.

I have used this card in a computer running Ubuntu and it worked just fine. It should be the same running Mint.

I've been using it in my work computer for a couple months now, which exclusively runs Ubuntu (Though I used 13.10 and now 14.04). No issues other than the normal Linux wifi signal strength issue that's easily solved by disabling the Power Management for the Wifi Card.

I'm running it with a 4 TB drive right now. Works great. I'm running Linux. It all just worked "out of the box" without needing drivers, Disk Manager, patches, or anything like that. You just have to remember to format your drive with "gpt" partition table, because the default ("msdos") partition table maxed out at 2 TB and will no longer work.

No answer for using it with a Linux system, but works great with my home brew set up.There are way bettercamers, but have no complaints with this one.

Yes. I'm using it on Arch Linux 64 bit and Windows 7 64 bit, and it works fine with both. It supports the latest Nvidia drivers still, which is nice.

technically compatible. But this card is universally unstable. I would advise to look elsewhere.

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 works perfectly on the latest Ubuntu. I have not tested on other distros.

I'm sure you could find some more information on the forums. I personally have not tried running it on Linux. I would imagine you just need to find the correct drivers to run it properly. Good luck.

I have this configured up with multiple windows versions (including Win 8) as well as Linux versions and have not had any issues - device circuitry acts as pass thru - note that I used each slot for a separate o/s and use the power buttons to dictate which o/s will boot.

I'm also looking at this laptop myself. I've been wondering if it will run fine with Linux, and from the input here things are looking good! I'm looking to run Debian, probably the testing branch as it has a little more up-to-date kernel and software, but I'm also considering Arch. That distro is always on the bleeding edge so the most recent software should (hopefully) pick up every piece of hardware on this machine.
