This used to be the case but not anymore. ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, ASRock are all fine usually for hackintosh. If you just google "ASUS X99 Hackintosh" for instance, you get a nice page of [SUCCESS] posts and guides/video to the latest El Cap patch. As for Linux it's really the same from these premium motherboard makers, there's no "better" choice than the one you think is the best mobo for you. The real difference is on a model-by-model basis, regardless of the brand. There are failures and there are great products, that's the way it is. So always google the exact model you wish to buy (based on specs and formal testing) just to see if there aren't too many horror stories. Add your build's flavor of course ─ "Hackintosh", "Linux", "overclock", "NAS", etc. It's also great when you can return a product with no questions asked and get a refund like with Amazon, and then just buy an alternative. For motherboards (and I'd say video card and RAM), these are all considerations that preside over brand choice/fidelity, if your intent is to make a "good purchase" (function and cost), imho.

It's mostly just a bunch of static tutorials to guide mainstream users to have everything in sync etc. It's actually well made, simple, direct links to the Play Store etc. And there are shortcuts to explorer etc. at the bottom. It's really mostly aimed at mainstream users who are not expected to install ES File Explorer etc. It does the job, its good enough and harmless. Also been there since 1511 I think.

Much like @leadeater, I've successfully run games off a NAS through iSCSI, in my case in a simple 1 Gb ethernet. I actually setup a batch script back then to setup symlinks so Steam would actually believe the files were on C:\. Worked like a charm, was pretty awesome to store hundreds of ISO rips for my emulators, regardless of device used to actually play.What's smart about going the iSCSI and/or "folder junctions" is that everything happens at the OS level and apps are none the wiser — Steam or games see themselves as running locally off C:\, every time they request a local file the entirety of the network part is dealt with by a trust and tried solid OS (e.g. Windows and FreeNAS). Just hit google for "MKLINK" and make a .bat, one line for each game (from C: to a drive letter you'll always use for that iSCSI target), and fire that script on any machine to setup the whole thing anew on a vanilla Steam install in just one double-click. It works well with emulators on a near-storageless Kodi/kiosk-like front-end media center client too, as long as you have enough CPU/RAM/GPU to actually run the emulator.
