I'll be soon getting a new desktop.
I've fixed the CPU as AMD Phenom II 1075T
These two motherboards came to my notice which support the above
processor: Gigabyte 880GM - GA 880GM-USB3L& 880GM-USB3
How good is Linux support with those? If bad, what other mobos support
1075T and Linux support is awesome?
I used this site to get this:

That's one of them and I think I saw another one from your list. May I
make a suggestion tho. It looks like those have a built in video
system, get a separate video card. Of all the video issues I have ever
had on Linux, it has been built in video cards. There are other good
reasons for this too, heat being one of them.
As to Gigabyte as a brand, I have a 770 based mobo and it works great.
It's worth every penny and then some. I have also had good luck with
Abit several years ago. I have installed on a MSI before too and it was
stable.
If you want to research other mobos, start here:

There are two ways to do this. If you have the mobo and can, paste the
output of lspci -n in the box. If you are researching and don't have
the mobo yet, click on the links on the left to see if the one you are
looking for is in the list. When researching a mobo, I find that site
invaluable to say the least.
Hope that helps.
