From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I can recommend NOT getting a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen. It does not play well with Linux. It still can work but has issues.
What problem are you having? Ive been using the 2nd gen for years, and didn't notice any problems, except more xruns than I think ought to happen. But it's hard to know what to blame for xruns.
AFAIK the problems are exclusive to the 3rd gen line.
The biggest thing was sometimes all output coming out as a distorted clipping mess, with nothing fixing it but a reboot. It was random and I can't tell why it happens. Other than that it's a lot of more minor stuff like the configuration software being Windows exclusive.
I'm just curious, what type of issues are you running into with it? I purchased one a short time ago for recording guitar practice sessions for future reference. I haven't used it an enormous amount yet, and I'd like to prepare myself if there's use cases that don't work on Linux.
I'm running Ubuntu Studio, and using a microphone or DI depending on the situation.

Okay, thanks for the reply! I'm not using it in a production environment by any means, so hopefully I can work around any issues if they crop up.
