I would also say "Mainboard" has been the established German word for motherboard for a long time. I almost never hear anyone call it Motherboard anymore in German (and even less the actual German word "Hauptplatine") Even manufacturers like MSI for example use the term "Mainboard" in German [1] but "motherboard" in English [2] [1]: https://de.msi.com/Motherboards/ https://de.msi.com/Motherboards/ [2]: https://us.msi.com/Motherboards/ https://us.msi.com/Motherboards/
