Does this device support Linux well?

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.

It works great with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I did a fresh install of Ubuntu while this wifi USB stick was plugged it. I did the install with a hardwire connection to the Net and had it install the updates which include some wifi support. After completing the install and updates, I unplugged the CatX cable from the PC and Ubuntu immediately found the ASUS wifi adapter and I connected to my wireless network without issue.

Yes, it does support Ubuntu. Running 12.10 on this with no problems, graphics card recognized and all drivers installed properly.

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

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.

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

I'm sorry to ask a question on your question but did you every purchase the device and try it on Linux? I was also curious.

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 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.

I first put Ubuntu 9.10 on mine (I know, a little outdated haha), and had lots of problems in terms of drivers. However, it's running Linux Mint like a champ!

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

Yep! Steam supports linux and works great. So far as system req, if you can run steam games you can run linux. Its much leaner than windows. But download the latest version from linuxmint dot com, and make a donation directly to linuxmint foundation. Dont buy this cd sold on amazon here.

I only used this with a Windows pc. It you have the setup software it should work. But i am not a linux uaer. I hope this helps.

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 haven't tried it with linux, but the windows driver will not work, you have to find one for linux

I have not used it with Linux. I have used it with Win7 and Win Server 2008. It uses "Realtek" technology, if that helps. It should work with Linux.
