is this the one with official ubuntu support? or is that another one?

It is another model. Check with the official website for the different models.

The firmware support from various free distros like Ubuntu is by dr google (usually takes time require some basic knowledge and works for most but not all problems). There is an official Ubuntu like distro Lubuntu sold together with similar device directly from supplier (not available from Amazon.com). It is a grate device for experimenting but rather not not for a real task.

I've read that the device supports Picuntu but that's not this. You'd have to do that yourself or find a seller that has this with Picuntu.

I'm sorry I do not have the answer to that question.. I found them too chippy with hulu Plus.... too slow to use on the WIFI so I returned them back to Amazon

I don't know anything about Ubuntu, I just know it works with my Android machine fine. Maybe somebody else will be able to help you.

Sorry, can't help you there. I only have 7. Just for general information, it doesn't work in Ubuntu...

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.

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

yes, but not out of the box. there is a community developed "device driver".

NO PROBLEM! Though on a side note, I have had better luck using the windows update drivers for these things than the provided software. fwiw

Don't know. My understanding is that operating system support is the deciding factor. Suggest reviewing published specs for OS support.

I was wondering the same thing. It just because Ubuntu is open source, and everything that works with Windows doesn't necessarily work with Ubuntu. Proprietary patents, profit motives and such.. Its good to check before buying. Might as well buy something that is reported as having no issues.

Forget it, they dropped support a long time ago. I sold it as soon as I found out there would be no new driver for Mac. I think the latest one works with Leopard or something.

Jordan - I am sorry to hear about your trouble. I purchased this item and it was shipped in good time. I am using it dual purpose for displaying molecular models and using GPUs for quantum calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. As an aside, in my case I had a GUI flickering problem and learned the nvidia drivers weren't playing nice with a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS unity install. I applied a compiz-gnome/"proposed" patch and switched to gnome and it seems to be okay.

The simple answer is yes. I'm running Windows 7 64bit Professional. Ultimate is about the same thing...you have a few more bells and whistles than I do; but they are essentially similar.

I've been using it since February without any complaints, but it would be even better if it would be possible to use linux instead of Windows 8.1. Unfortunatly Asus does not provide any support to linux.

Good info thanks for posting.This is an open question to anyone who knows: Any insight into whether or not a program like Parallels would work and if there are USB issues?
