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.
