It's A Digital Disease!

I have a h97n wifi motherboard with an HBA (for 6 bays) that seems having problem with Windows 11 pro for suddenly not detecting drives (8tb Toshiba enterprise and 6tb Seagate ironwolf but 14tb WD elements is ok).

Before, I formatted the problematic drives to NTFS in Linux in another device and Windows detected them before but not now. Putting these drives in an external dock works everytime.

Last BIOS beta update is in 2016. Would it be advisable to switch to Linux? If yes, which distro and version (LTS?) do you recommend for plugging to TV via HDMI mostly for media and some casual light gaming (don't want to use network on this device). Thanks.
