is it compatible with linux?

A Linux distro can me many things. Fundamentally however, USB 2.0 is a universal hardware standard. This device works as a port multiplier, i.e. provides more than one port with a common host interface housed in a powered chassis. Here is a reference dated 2004 that suggests yes. http://www.linux-usb.org/usb2.html. Is Apple Compliant? Probably. Can it do cartwheels? yes, if thrown it can.The device does work well.

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

I used it under Linux. It did what I wanted. Looks cool on my desk. People often say, "Her what kind of trouble can you get into with that?" You might have to load the Linux module from the command line

Yes. I'm using it on Arch Linux 64 bit and Windows 7 64 bit, and it works fine with both. It supports the latest Nvidia drivers still, which is nice.

I do not use Linux but it does work perfectly with Windows XP and Windows 7. There were no problems installing it and still use it on one of my computers.

Don't know about Linux. I've only used it with Windows 7 & 8.1 & it works fine with both of those.

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 mode hope 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

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.

Not sure. I would suggest you to use a flash drive to install linux stuff instead.

Yes, if there is an an empty PCI slot in the computer, it will work with a Linux build.

I believe it will the driver for it is pretty basic. Mint is the best Windows like flavor of Linux (IMO) and it's "plug and play" has always worked with anything I have installed.

I used it on Mint, and got it working, but it didn't perform as well as it did on windows. It broke and they wouldn't honor the warranty so I can't test on my current distro. I would say go with something else for Linux.

Its extremely simplistic. It will work with any linux distro, but its really low quality. I recommend anything but this.

Absolutely. I bought this item because it works great with both Windows and Linux. Well worth it. I need to buy another one because I gave this one away to one of my students.
