UBUNTU build advice

[LINUX_]

Hi, could I ask some advice? Thinking of the build below. It's for office work and gaming. My questions;
1 Anyone aware of any compatibility issues with Ubuntu 23.04?
2 Are the USB connections type A or C?
3 Does it come with WiFi Ready to use?
4 bit confused on Power supplies. What does semi modular mean?
Thanks 😊

Thanks, yes short on space. I have a Samsung 26" HD screen so just gaming in HD, not 4k. Budget around £1,100 so just trying to work out the best combo.. for games I want to play street fighter 6 really well

Thanks for the reply too, appreciated

1) No clue as I don't use Ubuntu

2) Both. The rear ports on that MOBO are as follows:

Rear USB (Total 8 ports)
1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port (1 x USB Type-C®)
4 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports (3 x Type-A +1 x USB Type-C®)
3 x USB 2.0 ports (3 x Type-A)

Far as I can tell, the front case ports are just standard 3.0 ports

3) The motherboard has built-in Wi-Fi so you would normally just need to connects the aerials. However, not sure if it's that straightforward with Ubuntu

4) Semi-Modular means some cables can be disconnected from the PSU (so things like SATA power cables etc)...the main power cables to the motherboard, GPU etc are non-removable. For most users, semi-modular is fine


As it's for gaming, what monitor will you be using?
Also, budget?
What sort of games?

Does it need to be an SFF system? I take it space is constrained?

The ARC A750 is an okay GPU but not great.

OK, so I'm also thinking about cooling and thermal paste. Is there any reason to go for anything apart from the standard option for a setup as above? Thanks

For the specs listed below is there any reason to go for cooling, paste or fans other than the standard one? Thanks

Thanks 😊
