USB 3 to HDMI adapter Linux compatible

Post by premier69 »

Hello

I have been searching ebay and amazon for an USB 3 to HDMI adapter with Linux compatibility and the results i've found say mac and linux are not supported so i wonder of you guys have any idea of one that is compatible?

Like so, but with Linux support:

if they do say " mac and linux are not supported" - - that could be because of it's need for drivers?
& the ' mac and linux ' would not be supplying, either. ..
