Pros: I bought this board to set up a dual boot of Win 11 and Linux. The Windows install went without any problems, but the Linux part was a headache. I tried Mint first, but could not get the LAN to run. Next I tried Zorin with the same result. After checking everything I could think of, I reinstalled my old board to see if it was an OS problem. It ran great. With no other ideas to work on, I contacted Asus support. After going over the problem I was having, and all that I had tried, tech informed me that Asus doesn't have drivers for any Linux OS. I checked several Linux community sites where it became obvious that this was not a new problem. I do like the features on the board, so for the present I'm going to use it for Win 11 only,but I will check much more closely before I get a replacement board,

Overall Review: If all you want is a Win 11 setup, this is a very good choice for your rig.
