Yesterday I was talking with folks about building a Steam Machine for my HTPC using Bazzite. Folks recommended staying away from realtek and sticking with Intel wifi. What about this motherboard "MSI MAG B550M MORTAR MAX WIFI " which has "AMD wifi". Good results?

I can also be sure because AMD doesn't make wifi chips

JediPotatoOP•7/8/24, 4:24 AM

I like that it's bluetooth 5.0 and as long as it works well in linux... should be ok?

cheesy•7/8/24, 4:25 AM

I'm trying to find a microATX mobo, supports FRONT usb C headers, Intel wifi, bluetooth 5, and will either let me flash the bios without a CPU or support the Ryzen 5 5600x out of the box. All without costing more than $150 any one know of something solid for a gaming HTPC? hehe

At any rate, this is a colossal waste of effort lol, just buy a steam deck instead of wasting 80% of the cost of the steam deck on parts not designed to mount onto the custom steam deck enclosure.
