What PCI cards do you use ?

posted 8 months ago

I have 2x PCIe X16 and 1x PCIe 1x slots that are not being used. Given that Linux has extensive hardware support, there are probably users with interesting PCI card usages

Aside from traditional usages like network/wireless/bluetooth/sound that can easily be used as USB (or built in advanced sound support in the MOBO), what are your use cases with PCIe?

my current usage:

on my desktop:

RX 7900 XTX
Wifi 6 adapter
10Gbit SFP+ NIC

on my proxmox server:

RTX 3080 (passed through to Debian VM)
16 drive HBA (passed through to TrueNAS VM)
GT 730
10Gbit SFP+ NIC

I’ve also used USB PCIe cards to get more USB controllers for picky USB devices like USB capture cards and audio interfaces.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
