Is this build compatible with Linux?
I noticed a lot of RGB-related tasks depend on Windows software. I'm aiming for a Linux-compatible configuration, which I think means installing everything directly on the motherboard controls. Does this approach make sense?
I'll probably be using Fedora since that's what I'm familiar with.

As mentioned earlier:
I own a 750 watt PSU to ensure better efficiency at 50% load and allow for future upgrades. Is this too demanding or could cause issues when the system operates at lower power levels?
The support page for the Thermalright system that details the software needed to manage the WonderVision display is quite straightforward: "Support system Windows 7/8/10/11 32/64-bit version". It seems that with devices linked through the motherboard's argb ports, you should be able to handle color control using an OpenRGB Linux version. However, special cases like the WonderVision, which connects via a USB2 port on the motherboard, likely won't function unless the manufacturer provides their own Linux software.
I've mainly used Mint and Ubuntu, and the main issue I've faced is with audio output. I would advise making sure the distro you select is compatible with the audio chip on your motherboard. You don't want to end up with a build that's finished but without any sound.
