Will this work with linux? Will I need external drivers or does it work OOTB on the most recent version of Ubuntu?

Yup. Just plug it in and you'll see it show up as /dev/ttyUSB0 (or something similar). I use ckermit to connect to it. No drivers or anything else needed.

I am using it with Ubuntu. It works fine. Just remember that it is a TTL logic USB to serial converter. Check that is what you are looking for before buying this.

I believe it will work with Linux. I do have a fair return policy if it doesn't work.

Yeah it is. It works out of the box and you don't really need to look very hard for drivers. Both for windows and linux

Yes, it works out of the box, highly recommended for any Linux distro: SteamOS, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc. Great for games! Works flawlessly with Steam and Steam games. Not sure about ChromeOS or Android but I assume those include all the same drivers as every other Linux distribution does.

It works out of the box on a laptop I've got Ubuntu on, so you shouldn't have any problems.

Did you ever find out if this was compatible with Linux? I see the v1 is listed, but can't find anything on the v2.

It works on Ubuntu, so I'm guessing you are good for all debian based (and probably all but I'm not as familiar with others.)

No answer for using it with a Linux system, but works great with my home brew set up.There are way bettercamers, but have no complaints with this one.

Installed and works well on the windows based platform. Never installed it on linux, however it was basically plug play , so it should.

Thanks, I went ahead and bought it... it works just fine with my Red Hat Linux box, but it does require reformatting... I'm sure it would work just fine with most other Linux distros too.

I recall it worked with my version of Ubuntu, but that was a long time ago, not sure what version of Ubuntu u have and the firmware version right now. Sorry, cant be of more help.

I haven't tried Linux, but as you say, they're just USB speakers after all, so I'd expect they would. I didn't have to install any specific drivers to get them to work on my Windows 8 machine.

It works on my Mint computer so I'm almost absolutely sure it'll be compatible with Ubuntu. It's a very simple input device, no drivers needed.

It is off the shelf hardware. It should work with Linux distributions AFAIK. You can build your own for slightly cheaper, but not too much cheaper. For the extra money, you do get warranty support on the hardware as well as having it tested and burnt in. That was worth my mine for having the piece of mind. Search for the free as mini reviews and you can get a breakdown of the hardware to check compatibility.

I can't confirm for Linux, I use mine on an older Mac Pro running MacOS-X 10.7.5. Works well for me.

If you really want it to work is meant to be, I would recommend to set it up with windows, so install the software and update, etc. But yes, it works with Ubuntu. I use it everyday on 14.04

Works for Win8 & 8.1, Win7, and it works in Linux. All plug and play, so you shouldn't have to mess with the drivers.
