Damn. DOS was one of my favorite projects and also my favorite ROM. Sad to see it go, but I understand why since it was a one-person team. Hopefully someone else will be able to fill the hole left by this, especially for maintaining the security of older devices to whatever extent is possible with mostly automated means.
We still exist, but you gotta look. Tech has gotten a lot more mainstream since the 90s.

I only buy Gigabyte mobos personally.
Only potential issues I can forsee are audio driver and networking driver, but I highly doubt either of those will be an issue with any modern motherboard.
I would just buy whatever and install Linux on it. As for which one to buy, just get one from a reputable brand (Gigabyte, ASUS, ASRock, MSI, and whatever else I'm missing).
The CPU and the BIOS/UEFI/other primary bootloader are all that really matter from a software freedom perspective (hardware freedom is a different beast altogether that still has no truly viable solution for 100% freedom from head to toe yet), and unless you go with an old mobo supported by libreboot or canoeboot, then you're going to have to deal with having Intel ME or AMD PSP, which are segmented processors inside of the CPU that has full memory access and runs proprietary code along with having a proprietary BIOS.
Shit, justice works.
I think that having the convenience of an easy-to-use, always-online device in your pocket at all times is inherently addicive. The profit motive just compounds this issue on purpose to extract wealth, but it is more of a symptom of a larger issue.
Humans, nor any other animal on this planet have ever existed in an era that they can be always connected to everyone in their species at all times; even having that ability at all is revolutionary and unprecidented.
It used to be that the only people you talk to would be people in your local area, but now a significant portion of the percentage of people that an average person is likely to encounter on a daily basis is via means where their real character is hidden behind a carefully curated mask.
