Agreed! Just wanted to pile on, the driver thing is a bit hit/miss.

Broadcom/Realtek (sometimes)? Good luck. Intel/AMD/Aquantia? Probably good to go.

There are vendors that give Linux first-class support; buy them.

edit: Realtek is a little hard to pinpoint, they tend to have drivers... but fairly buggy.

I have to replace the r8169 module or something similar with r8125 for my (onboard) networking to work under stress. If I push too much bandwidth, it'll just drop.
