Your Linux distribution might not activate the device automatically, which means you won’t be able to sync Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connections to it. Getting USB dongles to provide wireless connectivity can be a pain, however. Some distributions, like Ubuntu, have opted to use closed-source drivers when there isn’t any open-source version available. Everything from Debian to openSUSE can usually identify any USB device you plug into it and activate it as long as it can find a suitable open-source driver. Generally you can expect a USB device to work as soon as you plug it into a machine running any modern distribution of GNU/Linux.
