Will this work with Linux? (kernel 3.16 is my oldest)

Every piece of hardware, including USB devices require drivers to operate, and these are usually OS dependent. However, the "U" in USB usually means universal. I have used my interface converter with several versions of Windows and Mac OS, and the device has worked seamlessly without necessity of installing additional drivers. I cannot say for certain if the thing would work with other platforms. I suppose if the platform is old enough, there could be an issue if there are no driver updates available.

I do not see how the operating system on the computer has any bearing on the interface adapter. SATA and USB are not OS specific as I understand it. I have not tried the automatic backup function on this device. That's not why I bought it. So, I cannot comment on the compatibility with different platforms.

Hi, It can work with Linux and bfgminer. You only need the latest bfgminer :)

It works perfectly on the latest Ubuntu. I have not tested on other distros.

Linux is an OS right? This is strictly hardware, should work with anything.

It should work, I have installed many Linux distros on this as well as many flavors of windows.

I think it should. I connected mine to Ubuntu Linux (14.04, I think). Plug and play there.

Yes. It should plug right in and already be supported by the kernel.For me, the middle button opened a new tab when using it to click on a link in a browser.

It works with my Linux Mint OS. It was plug & play. That's about as good as it gets for the price.

I've used it with windows 7, 8 and a few flavors of Linux. It's a standard controller device. Probably works on OSX also.

Hello realmrealm,We do not recommend to use it with Linux. As the listing description shows, it supports Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 and only for stable performance.Anker Team1-800-988-7973 support@ianker.com Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm(pst)

I am wondering the same thing. I will be using the most recent release of either CentOS or Ubuntu and I would hate to find out it doesn't work on Linux.

I only used this with a Windows pc. It you have the setup software it should work. But i am not a linux uaer. I hope this helps.

it has no problem with Fedora. So it should work with any linux, including ubuntu.

FYI, support for this card was added in Linux kernel 4.2, so should work out of the box with newer distros (ie. ubuntu 15.10 or later)

I also can't answer at this moment. It doesn't work yet because I'm fighting against Win8 and it's hardware to install Linux.

I would not see why it shouldnt work with linux. Standard tablet drivers should do it..

This card is supposedly supported kernel 4.2 and later. Anything before that and you will be compiling kernel modules until you are blue in the face. Even with 4.2 and later, it doesn't work well.
