I'm running Linux Mint 17 XFCE with newer kernel and can confirm that everything works well. Switching to a >3.16.x kernel provides the Thunderbolt support I needed for my Cinema display ... everything else just works[1]. [1] With usual caveat that pulseaudio is horrible. With wired headphones it only crashes about once a week ... with bluetooth headphones it's at least once a day. It doesn't appear to like the device "coming and going".
