Does it support DDR4 Memory?

No. Only DDR5 which cant be found unless you want to pay $600.00 cause of scalpers.

how many M.2 slots does it have?

The motherboard has four M.2 slots.

If I wanted to run a dual boot system with 2 different operating systems (Ubuntu 20.04, and Windows 11 pro), which 2 M.2 slots should I choose or does it matter since they are all gen 4?

You can choose any of the M.2 slots for setting up a dual boot system as they all support PCIe 4.0 mode. Specifically, the M.2_1, M.2_2, M.2_3, and M.2_4 slots all support PCIe 4.0 mode, making them suitable for high-speed storage devices required for dual boot systems.

I'm trying to figure out which CPU fans are compatible with this motherboard and LGA 1700 CPU. Any recommendations/advice?

you can email support from whatever company you want to get your cooler from either aio or air and they'll ship out the 1700 brackets for free.

Will this fit a 980 pro ssd with heatsink?

No motherboard with include M.2 heatsink will support another heatsink.
