I mean... your friend's not wrong, if by "Linux" she/he means "Ubuntu 16.04 LTS" with the caveats: * disable Secure Boot xor create your own efi signing key pair, get friendly with `mokutil`, and pray your firmware's UEFI implementation supports that complicated custom KEK * Ubuntu 18.04 support, but forcibly install at least one 16.04 package they couldn't be bothered to build for the latest stable release of their chosen distro --- or `patchelf` the shared object and, again, pray. * accept that the debugging symbols they provide still bear the source paths from the Jenkins instance that packaged them * Oh, yeah; sometimes the device is detected as USB 2.1. That's fun when it happens 2 hours into a calibration run They're good if all you need is a flakey proof of concept. It sounds to me like you require something better.
