Videos are a terrible way to communicate small amounts of information and these comments aren't super insightful so I guess I'll just move on.

Videos are the most monetizable way to communicate small amounts of information.

A 10-12 minute video is always a huge red flag for me. Either the info is stretched out or over compresses.

My ROG Strix main board somehow didn't support(?, idk what word would be accurate) Microsoft .NET Try using Windows with that. (That is intact why I used Linux for the first time) After a year or so I got tired of .NET not working and switched out my main board(to MSI). Everything worked perfectly fine since then. I don't even know how that's even possible

I refuse to believe there is a ROG board that "doesn't support .NET", even if that phrase weren't already borderline nonsensical.

Bruh it just didn't work, I still have this shit ass main board. Linux worked almost completely fine on it(besides some windows applications) but Windows itself would run until I switched the main board. I just used this phrase because I've skipped over it in a forum while figuring this issue.

Asus has become shit get over it

I believe that you had issues. I can also easily believe that ASUS makes a board or windows drivers/software prone to problems. The specific cause you claim to have identified is simply absurd.
