Although this is a Supermicro page -- https://www.supermicro.com/support/resources/OS/X299.cfm It is the X299 chipset that is important for Linux support. This shows minimum versions required for the X299 support.
Are there specific features of that motherboard that you are trying to determine support ?

Thanks for that.
I just want the board to work properly. The toughest application is mechanical engineering software, which in three dimensions to 80 millionths of an inch ccuracy can be demanding. I'm not a gamer & not an artist.

OK a little surfing later
I learned that the Intel Core i7-10700K CPU supports Ubuntu ( so the chipset must also I assume)
so that should simplify the mainboard search
I have read that chipset incompatibility may be as trivial as not supporting all the reported USB ports. that sort of thing.
