Is software required? I have a Linux box, and Linux isn't listed as one of the compatible O/S.

If you do not already have this watch, save your money. It is a real pain. GPS takes forever to load. I was spending half my running time looking at the watch, to see if it had, indeed, started tracking. Very fragile GPS connection. Clouds, trees seem to flummox its GPS functioning. The software, and the on-line site are nest to useless. I am sorry I purchased this product.

Not required for the operation, but you need a software for the data analysis and the tracking of your workouts. The recomended software is Training peak, but i think it is very expensive and has awful UI.

Yes. I wouldnt know if it rund on linux but if you want to see stats from your training on your training peaks page you would have to find a way to run a wimdows os within your linux. Email angel.matos@rdsgi.com for a way to do this. Its a great watch and it has been with me for two years now.

Yes but the software is free on the timex website. As far as I know there are only Mac and PC compatible software.

Check out this link for Linux driver info: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t;=185433

Sounds like you loaded more than just the required drivers. Do you really want or need the optional software?

I am using it on XP, but not sure about Linux. I should as it is a physical switch and not software driven.

yes, on the standard Raspbian install. Just plugin and go, no building or loading extra drivers.

Dear Miguel, Unfortunately, GNU/Linux operating system is not supported, and there is no device driver for Linux/Unix systems.

Doesn't seem like it. I tried to search for drivers but can't find any for Linux. I had to return the item. I use Ubuntu 14.04.

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)

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

Yes. You might have to format the drive though. It should be fast enough to run Linux without any issues.

Unfortunately no. All of mine are in Ubuntu and RaspberryPi computers (Linux, drivers built in). Sorry.

Yes, so far this works with any pc I've thrown it against. Xp, win 7 and 8 work fine. I have yet to try it with a Linux box or Mac.

It depends which features you need. It does not have a Linux driver, and does not support all the same features in Mac OS and Windows.

Did you ever find out if this was compatible with Linux? I see the v1 is listed, but can't find anything on the v2.

Yes - right out of the box for windows. With Linux you'll need to re-partition the drive. The process in detailed in my review. Hope this is helpful.

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.

It should treat the box as an external sound card. In this case, it should work. Linux has OOB drivers, unlike Windows and the need to download and install drivers. This being said, it should work with Linux.
