I am not sure what makes a motherboard Linux-friendly... I guess fwupd integration with LVFS would be nice? Still, I am happy with my MSI B650 Tomahawk, since I can just put the latest firmware into an exFAT formatted thumb drive and update with it. All my laptops in the past had only supported firmware updates with Windows-only executables. I think I really should check out Framework for my next laptop.
Having to use windows when upgrading firmware is very Linux unfriendly.
In this regard, I think Gigabyte just has you put the firmware in some accessible location (like on a USB drive) and update from BIOS?
Every (non-laptop) motherboard I've ever had (Gigabyte, MSI, Asus) has that functionality
