Is their a driver available for Linux? Our school district supplied all students with laptops, but they are Linux-based.

The resolution is not perfect, a illumine is not stable. But you can use eyepiece as well. Do not recomend this product to my friends.

As i recall, it didn't actually ship with a version of Linux installed. The first thing I did was install Ubuntu and its been working fine. I bought this laptop a few months ago, though, so I may have forgotten...

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

the driver disk is for windows xp, windows 7, and I am sure the new ones have them for windows 8.. there are no Linux drivers.. although you could check with the actual company website which is Ralink and see if they have downloadable drivers for Linux .. they have a very long list .. and also I have already reviewed this antenna and I will repeat .. it is a monster.. It works incredible .. I am pretty much convinced that if the international space station happened to be orbiting your location that if you pointed it straight at the sky you might be able to pick it up.. lol... I have owned a few of these now and this model is just fantastic.. the driver disk is for windows xp, windows 7, and I am sure the new ones have them for windows 8.. there are no Linux drivers.. although you could check with the actual company website which is Ralink and see if they have downloadable drivers for Linux .. they have a very long list .. and also I have already reviewed this antenna and I will repeat .. it is a monster..

I don't think any computers are sold from major manufacturers with Ubuntu or Linux installed though I could be wrong, but you can definitely install it easily enough yourself.

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

They have a piece of software that I believe is designed to use it, but I've just been using it manually, as I use Linux and their software wasn't really working with it. As Adil said, the software they have is advertised to do that.

It works great with Suse and Open Suse Linux with no problems using standard drivers installed with linux -- I don't use the Setpoint, so I can't speak to that issue

I used it under Linux. It did what I wanted. Looks cool on my desk. People often say, "Her what kind of trouble can you get into with that?" You might have to load the Linux module from the command line

I've had it working on Windows xp/Vista/7/8/8.1 so far. Unsure about Linux at this point.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER:Thanks for posting your question here, John! As of Linux kernel 2.6.31, this adapter has open source drivers in the kernel staging tree. As of 2.6.38, the driver was promoted to the main kernel tree. Configuration of X Windows for USB displays is still distribution and scenario dependent. So we recommend it only for very adventurous users.If you need any additional information please do feel free to shoot us an email at support@plugable.com.

If you were really set on running windows, and you were a master of computers and programming, then yes. For most people, no. The device runs Chrome OS, which works for most daily browsing and work tasks. If you need something specific and there is no app support for it, it is fairly easy to run linux on the device.Linux is pretty similar to windows in feel and program support.
