I want to get a Z390 motherboard but i can't find information about Linux compatibility. Are standard Z390 motherboards (such as Gigabyte Z390 UD) generally compatible with Linux? And is there anywhere where this information is available?

Is this for a PCSpecialist build?

"Almost always these days, an AMD build makes much more sense"

Do you mean just for Linux, or is AMD better in general?

Im looking at Z390 because i want a decent gaming PC, which can dual-boot Windows and Linux.

Pretty much for any build, AMD is a better platform with better features and just as good single threaded performance with vastly better multithreaded performance.

Agree with Spydertracks, AMD are streets ahead at the moment, it it were a race, AMD v Intel would be a bit like Usain Bolt against me and I walk with crutches :)
AMD have been very good and sorting 'nix issues since the Ryzens came into being, there were some but fixed in a week or less normally. If you have not seen this site it is very useful for news on Linux in general: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=home

Thanks that phoronix site is what I was looking for.

Regarding AMD, which of their processors is the most similar to an Intel i7?
