Loading Linux onto a motherboard without a builtin graphics chip.
by RobShaver from LinuxQuestions.org on (#576JT)
Yes, I'm new here. I'm building a new PC from components and am planning to see if I can dump Windows and just use a Linux distro.
COMPUTER COMPONENTS
MOTHERBOARD: ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4/ac
CPU: AMD RYZEN 9 3900X
GRAPHICS CARD: EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER GAMING
QUESTION
I imagine I will install the Linux OS from a thumb drive.
Since the motherboard has no on-board graphics, is there any special way to make sure the first boot from the thumb drive will recognize the RTX 2070 Super to display the console?
In fact, will the BIOS recognize the RTX 2070 board even before I get to booting the thumb drive?
Thanks for your help.
