Well you could google it, that is how I always do verify compatibility. Most will work on linux nowdays though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
réjean 265 Posted February 27 Ok! Because I just saw that the one you suggested said; 【Plug & play or free driver】 – plug and play for Win 8, Win 8. 1, and win 10. Supports Win7/XP (driver required for Win7/XP and could be downloaded from website free of charge). it is not compatible with Mac, Linux, TV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just search the reviews for linux: Plugged this into my PC running Linux (kernel 5.4.3) and it automatically detected it without needing to install any drivers or reboot.
