I bought this for my mother to use so we could Skype, living 1k miles apart. It isn't top quality, given the price, but it does what it's supposed to do.

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.

I've had it working on Windows xp/Vista/7/8/8.1 so far. Unsure about Linux at this point.

I am running debian on mine. The only issue I encountered is that installing the wireless driver was annoying.

I am using it with Full Monty (PCLINUXOS)on one machine and Mini Me on another..FAST and fast. :-)

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 haven't tried, but I mix PC and Linux with no problems, so I suspect PC and Apple would work too

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.)

Yup. Used it with Ubuntu and Kubuntu. Linux has low-latency drivers built-in, so you're good to go.

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

It is supported by most linux distributions. I use it in unRaid, which is based on Slackware, and it worked straight out of the box...

It works on my Debian jessie with kernel 3.16. I suspect Ubuntu has a very similar set up.

Yes this is compatible with Linux Os however Thunderbolt port will not work and 3 USB-3 out of total 6 on back panel will work in USB-2 modehope this answers your query

Officially only Win/Mac OSs are supported. It doesn't come with a Linux driver and Genius website doesn't provide one. However, http:// goo.gl/7FK

Running CentOs and Ubuntu without issue. Only hardware feature I have not tested is the bluetooth.

Have had no driver issues in any version of linux I've used on this. That includes Ubuntu, Mint and Centos 7 so far. I suspect it will work with any recent version of linux.

Yeah, I got Ubuntu running on the X3 (same compy, just silver and a smaller HDD and rated 1 hour less battery life). Natively, only the sound drivers work [with the fn vol +/-/mute working] (neither the ethernet or wireless worked). I found some forum that I don't recall googling about it, and some guy suggested buying an ethernet usb hub to get the necessary packages... Waste of 44bucks. I used ubuntu backports [I am trying to find the packages to link..], restarted and it was running both wireless (with med-strong signal strength compared to win7 with strong+ at this distance) and wired. It glitched once, but a restart and update got it working fine. Without the interwebs on it, you have to download the .deb packages on another system and bring them over with a flashdrive. Screen brightness control so far only works on two settings (adjusted using FN+num key). I haven't messed with it much to get it fully working. Compiz: Fully working, all the effects I like are enabled (i.e. Animations, Cube, 3D windows, etc). I guess that is all to say, if you're a linux nerd like me - you can get it working. It just takes some research and basic know how. EDIT: Oh, and battery life on every laptop I have ever put linux on as lost battery life... I know with mad customization you can get it better. But with battery rated at 11.5hrs for mine, I run Ubuntu for around 6.5 easy (with full performance enabled)... That is just my short experience with it.
