Maybe you can give some examples of what kinds of problems you mean.

I've been running GNU/Linux distributions of all types exclusively on
64bit systems for probably 15 years or more and I've NEVER found a
motherboard or BIOS that gave me any problems.  Your message sounds like
many motherboards won't work with Linux and you have to search carefully
to locate a compatible one.  That's definitely not been my experience.
