Will it run Linux (Debian 7, Ubuntu 14.04 or Mint 17)?

Yes, i have installed Ubuntu 14.04. only issue is wireless for which drivers are available from git (compile from source)
2022664
I have several of these. I've used Ubuntu 14.04, CentOS 6.6 and CentOS 7.0 without any major problems.

Answer is "Not really" or "kinda sorta" ... "resume" from "suspend" does NOT reinitialize ANY USB devices. Effectively, "suspend" does not work! Also, the included WIFI/BT does not work with the stock Ubuntu 14.04. Buy the Intel Celeron NUC equivalent instead (about $20 more)... I wish I had. Intel has now been a big Linux supporter with drivers for sometime. I have a 4th Gen i3 NUC too, and all works perfectly with Ubuntu 14.04 and Mint17.

I never found out. It was my intention to set it up as a multi-linux test computer but when you start it for the first time you are supposed to choose Win 7 or 8. Mine was DOA so I sent it back rather than risk having to buy a copy of Windows just to see if it would work with Linux. I did read the review of a later customer who complained of having difficulty with drivers.

Don't Know for sure, I would assume it would have support as long as you have your service packs up to date sp1,2,3. I run Linux Mint 17 64bit Mate desktop with no problems.

I am not using it with a Linux but what are you planning on doing in Linux with it?

Yes, Raspberry Pi will run with this as it supports linux, however it may require more voltage than the minimum 5v so beware of that

MX-14 Linux runs well as a standalone, or dual booted with WinXP, and Mepis Linux.. Have printers, scanners and large sign cutter I can not replace with win7 or win 8 software so will Keep WinXP off .line for years! This is a nice drive, decent priced unit, but would like a bit more storage, that will take another year or two as the price continues to come down..

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

This card worked in a Steam OS build (Debian distro). I'm not familiar with Mint 17, but I can confirm this card is compatible with Debian Linux.

Yes Mint 16, but not once it installs runs great, but then when I reboot, no boot loader/gub user interface, just says "insert bootable media" does this for any ver of linux mint....

You would have to out it on it manually, but yes it should. I don't know for sure, since I haven't reset it with Fedora, but Ubuntu runs fine on my very similliar laptop. There is always a few bugs, like mine, currently, there is something wrong with the RAM, but it still works on Windows 8.1. So, since Linux has it's glitches, Dual-Boot it, so that you have a back up OS

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.

Im running Linux Mint 17 so I cant say Windows 8 will work with this card ...sorry.

This system is very generic hardware - I can't speak to all Linux systems, but Debian/Ubuntu installs just fine. You need to know what you're doing as some installers are looking specifically for a CD device during install. If you want to get around that issue, get yourself a USB CD or DVD drive.Once you get past any issue with the installer (and that's not a hardware issue - it's an issue with the installation code) it will run Linux just fine. This unit will run better with the command line, but it runs lightweight GUIs perfectly well.

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

The short answer is yes, but not without a lot of work. You need to install a USB stick and install a version of Linux on it. Be prepared to do a bit of hacking. This is not a route for the faint of heart.

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.

Running freenas (freeBSD) on it without problems. Don't see why Linux would be any problem.
