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.

Agreed with others that this is likely a BIOS issue, and it would be good to check for a firmware update first.
In particular, this looks like it might be an issue with the USB port locations described by your BIOS ACPI. Maybe one of the embedded root hubs? You might be able to play with USB settings in the BIOS Config to see if that helps, especially loading default values. I also think it might be possible to blacklist ports from kernel parameters and that could be a good check... but I'm not very familiar with the parameters in recent years and didn't find anything in a quick search.
As a last ditch, you can disable ACPI entirely, but it can/will cause very odd performance and configuration issues along with no power management. (This goes double for portable systems.)
Hmmm might be, I'm also experiencing very long boot times. Normally have to wait 3-6min while watching the Asus ROG logo before the system decides to boot up. Might just be easier to look for a new mobo than to troubleshoot something I know so little about to be honest.
That's definitely a frustrating situation you have, and I very much encourage you to take the path that feels most possible to you!
Before moving on, I would like to point to trying what u/mvirts suggested, disabling ACPI from the grub bootloader. It's easy and great for getting an installer running and working, and sometimes the freshly installed and updated OS whisks the problem away.
But regardless of what you choose, I wish you much luck in your endeavours!
Thanks for the nice reply!
