Compatible Linux Ubuntu 12.04. My opinion only relates to this system there. Filled my goals typing in a dimly lit room (to avoid turning my chandelier). For cons, the color setting returns to the blue at each start fiddling and too light or sound settings is "losing" menus "right click". Nothing unbearable, just know it (and reboot the PC that we got "have"), just a little annoying. But as a whole, for the price, this is what I wanted and more: I keep. :-)
