Hi peeps, I'm looking for a Desktop to be served as a Server in the back of his retail shop. The specification below is the preferred set of hardware I wish him to have:
1. 16 GB RAM 2. CPU (at least Quad Core) 3. SSD (500 GB)
Do you have experienced in incompatibility motherboard issue when using Ubuntu? I don't know any other distro, Ubuntu is the most familiar Linux distro for me. Can you guys recommend the most compatible Motherboard brand for Ubuntu? E.g. Gigabyte, Asus, etc
Beside, I have another question about where to source for the cheapest & reliable hardware in KL.

Duke, would you consider using cloud solution? Google cloud gives you USD $300 credits. You can run tens of Ubuntu servers QUOTE(k town shit @ Mar 5 2020, 09:57 AM) Hi peeps, I'm looking for a Desktop to be served as a Server in the back of his retail shop.

I think motherboard compatibility is irrelevant
You most likely have to deal with CPU, GPU, PCIE devices, etc

I wouldn't put any specific recommendations as any of the big brands should work. There are basically only 2 options for CPU, AMD or Intel. Again both should work fine. AMD is the popular one for builders. Good luck
