Works on arch Linux!!!
This one works on my arch machine perfectly. I plugged it in. Booted my computer and tried to connect my Bluetooth headphones and boom!!! Connected right away. Truly plug and play in arch. No lag on videos nothing!!! If you are on Linux specially arch and you had Bluetooth issues like me. Buy this and your problems will be solved.

StarTech For Linux
have had StarTech in the past & it was good if a bit expensive my last several laptops have not had Bluetooth this is a small, Bluetooth 5 & works well with Linux as it says so many things won't do Linux

Works as expected
Works as expected - Win 11 sees it and doesn't need any additional drivers or software. Startech quality is always top notch.

Does not work with Windows 10
Windows 10 detects the Startech Bluetooth dongle and installs drivers for it. After turning on the radio and running a sweep for devices, none are found. Tried five different devices and all failed. I have a different brand adapter and that works fine with Windows 10 with these same devices. Tried different PCs. Seems to be the Startech. Checking there website, almost every customer had the same problem. Seems like a known issue. My advice is do not purchase. You most likely will be wasting your time.

Works great on Linux for controllers and audio
Needed it to connect a Scuf Instinct Pro controller wirelessly to my pc running ChimeraOS on a spare nvme to game occasionally on my PC. Was recognized immediately and connection is strong and stable. Also, I booted into my main distro (Ubuntu 22.04) and connected my Sony XM4s (WHs). Flawless sound and stable connection. Haven’t tested the “hifi” audio codecs (aptx and such) because haven’t been able to compile the plugins in my first try (something about pipewire version) however audio over SBC is perfectly fine. Anyway, wanted to share my experience specifically for Linux. Windows probably works great also.

Worked Immediately With Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon
Inserted into USB port. Bluetooth worked immediately and without problems. Running Linux Mint 21.3 on an HP DV-6 from 2012. Mint did not recognize the native Bluetooth card for this laptop. The StarTech USB Bluetooth 5.0 Adapter, USB Bluetooth Dongle worked immediately. No setup required.

Works very well with Linux
Auto detected the device and I was able to immediately pair my keyboard and mouse combo.

Lo mejor de estos aparatos es que no necesiten ni que recuerdes que existen y este cumple. Por supuesto, es plug & play en Windows, pero lo más interesante es que también lo es con Linux, al menos con kernel 6.8 y superior.

Für Menschen, deren PC leider (noch) nicht über einen internen Bluetooth-Anschluss verfügt, ist dieses Produkt ein zuverlässiger Helfer. Einfach einstecken und (zumindest bei mir) schwupps kann ich meinen Bluetooth-Kopfhörer benutzen.

Reconnaissance directe par le système Linux Mint 21.3 sans avoir besoin d'installations de paquets supplémentaires. La portée est assez correcte.

Initially struggled with a "Bluetooth connect failed: br-connection-profile-unavailable" error, but after switching to Pipewire it works fine now on Debian 12.
