Does this model support Linux? I hear that DisplayLink chipsets are NOT supported in Linux.

I'm not sure if it supports Linux. You'll need to go to the website to look at the User Manual. Their manual specifically said that the port replicator did not support Windows 8. I worked with the HP SmartFriends technicians for over 16 hours to get the port replicator to work with my new laptop. I found out that it didn't support Windows 8 after I took the usual route where "IF ALL ELSE FAILS, READ THE DIRECTIONS"!! I could have saved myself a lot of time if I had skimmed through the User Manual!!! Good Luck!!!

Yes. One of the cool things about Asus is everything they make has linux drivers.

Has anyone tried Linux on this laptop?Looking at the specifications, it should be a pretty standard installation, except possibly for the Atheros wifi chip, which may require some fiddling.I haven't seen any news on any of the major Linux forums yet, but this laptop is still pretty new as I type this message.

I'm sure you could find some more information on the forums. I personally have not tried running it on Linux. I would imagine you just need to find the correct drivers to run it properly. Good luck.

Sorry, I don't know. I used Linux with this. I would imagine that it would have support for Netflix & YouTube.

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

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

A lot is going to depend on your kernel version (regardless of what distro you're running), and the actual hardware you're using (video card, monitor, etc). Having said that, I'm currently using this KVM to switch between a desktop running Fedora 18 and a laptop/docking station that's running Fedora 19 and haven't run into any showstoppers yet. Had some issues with screen resolution when I tried to replace the OOTB Nvidia video drivers with the proprietary versions, and there are some keyboard shortcuts in the documentation that I found to be glaringly absent (see my review of the product for details), but none of the issues were big enough that I couldn't use the product.

Hello Yakov. The unit comes with an installation CD which has the drivers. It's quite an easy install process. In my "original" setup, my laptop was display 1 and my other monitor attached to my VGA output was display 2. With this new unit attached to a USB port, I now have display 3. Yes, it will work. :)

Unfortunately, you will not be able to do so for two reasons1. This monitor requires two USBs (one for power and the other for more power and the signal)2. This monitor requires DisplayLink drivers which are only available for Mac, PC, and a couple variations of Linux as far as I now

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

Well, after you make it to work, it does! I had to put in a lot of effort to dig out the solution. When I contacted ASUS support for it, I was bluntly refused support for Linux OS.BTW I am on Ubuntu 12.04, not sure if that matters though.

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

No. I bought a Plugable USB 3.0 DisplayLink to go with mine, but beware of their free trial software Multiple Monitors; try not to use that cause you have to buy it after 30 days.

Yes, I've used it with 8.0 and 8.1. Make sure you have the latest displaylink drivers.

I currently use this board with PClinuxOS (my main, and preferred OS) and have had no problems with it. I have not used the wireless because I am close enough to my router to use a cable, but it does detect my network so I assume it should work fine. I can't speak to the performance of the onboard video because I use an nvidia card, but it is supported as far as I know.
