It seems my motherboard died after five years of service. I did some testing to verify this. All my other components seem to work. I will do one last test before making a purchase but, again, the motherboard is the most likely culprit. The motherboard in question is an MSI MPG X570 Gaming Pro Carbon Wifi. Would it be wise to buy this exact motherboard again? If not, which compatible motherboard should I buy?

Manjaro was a mistake for my producer, Neigsendoig, when he first started using Linux. Right now, the two of us currently use CachyOS (an Arch-base) with some RICE that he did. Bazzite is immutable (think mobile operating system concepts, but on a desktop), and it's good for beginners (though Neigsendoig and I are actually against immutable distros in practice, due to hindering the ability to learn how to fix typos in system configs) who are afraid of messing things up.
