If I understand correctly the MSI MAG B660M Mortar is compatible with Kubuntu 22.04?

I'm planning on getting a MSI MAG B660M Mortar motherboard and it looks like its compatible with Kubuntu 22.04. Is this true? Also my current motherboard is dying just a couple of days ago I got no video signal from desktop so I had to do a force shut down then unplugged it few a few minutes its working now but I've been notice little things here and there that point to my motherboard dying for at least two or three years now.

The board should support Linux fine, I think.
I'd buy it without thinking twice about it, myself. Though I do like to take chances.
With Intel boards, it is sort of hard to go wrong.
I am looking at this one: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-...RTAR-WIFI-DDR4
if you are looking at a different variant, it should be similar enough, but if you link to it, we can take a peek at it. There can be differing components for audio and networking.

Here is someone's hardware report with this type of board, without wifi;
https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=d1c5534f6d
Ignore the AMD (GPU) stuff, and external peripherals, and you can see the hardware on the board. Looks well supported to me overall.
if your board has wifi, it should also Just Work, as it seems to be Intel. Though a different version might use something else?
The Ethernet should work out of the box, but again, a different variant might use a different chip.

Thanks. Speaking of WiFi is this board WiFi 6 only or is it backwards compatible with older forms of WiFi such as WiFi 5? I tried searching for this but I didn't find much information about this cause I know it supports WiFi 6 I sure hope it works with WiFi 5.

Yes, it is backwards compatible. Wifi 6 is just marketing speak for 802.11ax, which is just the next step from 802.11ac, then n, etc ad nauseum
