> Not only does Linux have its own drivers, they can unbrick the damaged devices. Thanks for that. I haven't used my counterfeit FTDI cable in probably 2 years, but I was trying to figure out how I had not encountered any issues with it. I only happened to find out it was counterfeit due to the fact that I purchased it via a link in a forum recommended by "some user", and later, when I had this stupid looking cable and no idea where to plug the ends into my Pi, I revisited the forum, scrolled down a few replies, and found out that all of the "FTDI" products from the manufacturer of my cable were fakes. Once I read that, I had intended on replacing it, but decided to wire it up anyway to see if it would work. I run OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my main computer, and I don't remember having to do anything unusual, or encountering any warnings/errors at the time trying to use it[0], I'm guessing that's why... [0] I was trying to connect into a headless RPi and that was the most convenient way sometimes.
