All that should be necessary is: 1: ensuring the components comprising the motherboard you buy were originally released before the distro release, unless running sid, or maybe testing; and 2: updating the BIOS when applicable. I can't remember ever encountering any distro failing when these tests are met. Generally you're safe somewhere in the 6 months to year old range. UEFI "rubbish" can actually be helpful, especially if multibooting. > I have one new machine just about working under buster, but it's twin > has had to go to W7 when I installed two GPUs. That's probably just an isolated misfortune. Possibly the BIOS on the bad one is a defective older version. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
