If you go mini atx you can probably get those programs to work via WINE (Wine is not another emulator ). I'll shoot you a pm.
The Windows front ends look more complete, the drivers for the FM radio and the TPMS were written for Windows and the manual volume control seems to have more options /ease of use under Windows. The AMD video drivers on the ITX board we picked up can have custom resolutions via Windows and a utility. BUT Linux is free and boots faster and I will learn more new stuff using it. So Linux first, Windows as a fall back.

Hardware should start arriving mid March. I will keep you all informed
