Unless you've got devices that can utilise the latest revision(s) of BT you won't see any discernible benefit of one over t'other. <br /> <div class="quotetext"><strong>Quote:</strong> </div> <div class="quote">there's a 1.1 revision of the Gigabyte which swaps the wifi module for "AMD WiFi 6E 802.11ax & BT 5.2" - though I guess if that doesn't work I can use a USB WiFi receiver until drivers are available</div> Does the board not ship with drivers? Or is having physical media in the box a thing of the past these days? I last bought a mobo 10+ years ago and have been stalwartly upgrading and bastardising it over the years, but I'm sure it came with a driver disk. Still, you'd hope they'd at least release a download to coincide with the hardware launch <span class="emoticon e_csad" title=":C"><span class="e__">:C</span></span><br /> <br /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42904.4&return_msg=42904.3" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42904.4"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42904_5"></a><div class="message" id="message_42904_5"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">16 Sep 2022 20:31</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: graphitone <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 16 Sep 2022 20:52"></span></span> <span class="message_count">5 of 6</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42904.5">42904.5</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42904.3#a42904_4" target="_self">42904.4</a></div> <div class="message_body"> <div class="quotetext"><strong>Quote:</strong> </div> <div class="quote">Does the board not ship with drivers?</div> <p><br /> Not for linux.</p> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42904.5&return_msg=42904.3" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42904.5"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42904_6"></a><div class="message" id="message_42904_6"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Peter (BOUGHTONP)<span class="message_time">17 Sep 2022 19:26</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">6 of 6</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42904.6">42904.6</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Thanks all. <p> </p> <p><i>> Discrete GPU with desired ports?</i></p> <p>It's not a question of desired ports, simply a preference to not get extra wires/adapters.</p> <p>(Also, anything without noisy fans is liable to be a downgrade from the built-in Radeon.)</p> <p> </p> <p><i>> Does the board not ship with drivers?</i></p> <p>Many manufacturer's attitude to Linux-based OSes hasn't really changed in the past two decades, but even ignoring that aspect, the only universal media these days is USB drives.</p> <p><small>(Heh, which makes me realise I'm going to want an SD reader for this machine.)</small></p> <p>Thus, only Windows drivers are available for download, though at least the Gigabyte driver section does acknowledge its existence with: <i>"Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website."</i></p> <p>But yeah, it's basically down to <em>when</em> drivers are submitted to the kernel - anything too new might not have made it into an LTS release yet.</p> <div class="edit_text">EDITED: 17 Sep 2022 19:27 by BOUGHTONP</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42904.6&return_msg=42904.3" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42904.6"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </body>
