Considering upgrading my gaming rig with the following bundle ->

I have a GeForce RTX 3070 which I will keep and I am running Linux Mint 21.2. Any thoughts on compatibility? Any one running one of these ASUS B650-E TUF Gaming motherboards under Linux? Mint?

Edit: Thanks for all the great advice. It seems like I should spend just a few more dollars to get the Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX v2:

Should work fine, especially as this mainboard has Realtek ethernet (ASUS sets up Intel I225 ethernet in a way that can cause issues, see this post on Reddit).

That's not good, I actively try to avoid realtek cards since they are unreliable in linux. I have an asus board with an Intel nic but I haven't had these issues.

On the other hand, I haven't really had issues with Realtek. Probably because their gigabit chipsets have been out for long enough to be stable.
