Linux greater. *by on Reviewed in the United States January 25, 2025* Works amazing with windows. Did not even register on kali Linux. UPDATE: upgrading to 5 stars b/c on linux I had to install the drivers for it to work. Once I did, it picked up even better on linux. Amazing! 5 stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works on old Mac with Fedora and more *by on Reviewed in the United States February 5, 2026* I tested it with Fedora 43 (on an old MacBook Pro) and Kali (on an old Sony Vaio), and Kali in Fedora (preinstalled) Boxes.
