From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Most TP-link ones work afaik. I have the TP-link UB400 for bluetooth on my PC
The Amazon page explicitly says it's not compatible with Linux. That's confusing
Guessing it's officially not supported, and it just works with whatever open source drivers come with the kernel. I know the packaging only lists windows devices as supported, but so far it's been fine for me :3
