Is there any linux support for it? I have an Ubuntu-flashed netbook

I don't know; I've only used mine under OSX. The steele series doesn't list Linux ( http://steelseries.com/us/products/other/steelseries-free-mobile-wireless-controller#faq ), but neither does it for the 3GC controller, but people have had some success with that ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2043372 ). Probably best to hit up some linux gaming sites -- as there are a lot of unofficial hacks for that system to make things work, whereas few developers will make legally binding claims to work with that system (alas).

O just saw the first post not all there. Heres the rest.. I am also looking forward to "PicUntu" which will allow a linux android dual boot. With "linux PicUntu" the issues with flash support and the websites like cbs,hulu recognizing the pc as android, and thereby blocking the device, should no longer be an issue simce i would see picuntu, a version of Ubuntu, instead. But there is no timetable as to when it will be ready for the average customer. Another poster mentioned slatedroid for articles referring to picuntu. So i continue to wait.

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

Thanks, I went ahead and bought it... it works just fine with my Red Hat Linux box, but it does require reformatting... I'm sure it would work just fine with most other Linux distros too.

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

Dear John, I do not use Linux, but I am sure Roze from support will get back to you fast with the answer. support@plugable.zendesk.com

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...

I tried it with Ubuntu (v12.01) OS, but it didn't work with the plug and play drivers built into the OS. The driver needed is called display link, so if you're able to successfully install this driver on linux or raspberry pi OS then it will work fine. The following links might help you out...goo.gl/DcRvaggoo.gl/HACF7mgood luck Steve

It doesnot support linux. I have tried it on Ubuntu and Fedora. Use only for windows.

No problems, dualbooting win7 and linux mint (it's a ubuntu based os)both 64bit, just make sure you're using mbr, and not gpt.

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

I ended up ordering a System76 Starling netbook that is pre-loaded with Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 and also has the option to order an external USB optical drive with it. I assume that System76 will make sure that all the needed drivers are there and that the thing will work "out of the box." I haven't received the thing yet. I do know that USB thumb drives that I bought for my Windows PC worked with no problem on an old Toshiba laptop that I had installed Ubuntu (Feisty Fawn) on. So my guess is that if the device is connected via USB, you won't have a problem.

You can install an OS onto it. I have it running Linux in a dual boot configuration right now

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?

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'm running Linux Fedora, and it works like a charm with no setup at all. just plug it in and go. I've never tried Ubuntu, but I assume it would be pretty much the same.
