I love my Stream Deck for all the reasons described by others in this thread, but unfortunately support for Linux is nonexistent.
You need to rely on the open source reverse-engineered version of Elgato StreamDeck in Python [1], with the StreamDeck UI on top [2][3]. It works, but it doesn't offer all the functionality, and it's even more rough on the edges.
Plus, if you have a StreamDeck connected to a KVM and it is switching between two computers (a Mac and Linux, in my case), then you'll have completely different experiences, with different icons, plugins that are not available on Linux (e.g., Spotify, Clock).
I still use it and find it worth the investment, but hoping that Elgato dedicates some love to Linux users in the future.
