Samsung Monitor Linux Driver

You need to download a newer driver than what is on the CD because there is a Linux kernel update.

Works well with Linux Mint Mate 20 and so do all the Logitech combos since they use the same driver.

I wanted a screaming fast desktop with the ability to expand and upgrade. In addition to the original 1tb nvme drive, I've since added a second nvme, two SATA ssd's, and a usb a/c hub with extra ports. Amazing! On Windows 11 I'm getting over 1gb on wifi, and I haven't even tweaked any hardware/overclocking settings. Now that other nvme was for Linux Mint, so now it's a dual boot beast! I'll need to deploy some geek magic to get the internal wifi 7 card working, and because the NVIDIA card is so new the driver manager won't let me install the most recent NVIDIA driver on Linux but both issues should resolve themselves over the next few months as the operating system catches up to the latest hardware innovations. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This adapter works well with Linux, but will require the user to compile the open source driver and install it. Careful instructions are on the web. I use it on a workstation normally attached to ethernet, but occasionally in need of wireless access. Quick speed test on a strong signal was about 250Mbps (650Mbps on ethernet).

I have been using Samsung 500gb SSDs as system drives for my z840 workstation, but recently gave the PNY a chance and am very pleased. I like having spare drives like this around as I keep one for Windows and another for Linux. I also clone my drives before doing any complicated updates or installs (especially since I am very inexperienced with Linux). The 500gb size is perfect size to hold my OS, since all of my media is saved to a 4xTB NVME M.2 RAID. I highly recommend PNY 500gb SATA SSD

Pros: Very fast startup, Very easy to install using Samsung's Data Migration Software. I installed the 850 PRO by migrating my boot HDD to the 850 PRO and replacing the HDD (my C: drive) with the much faster 850 PRO. Everything went very smoothly in my Windows 10 AMD desktop. Cons: Samsung could do a better job on instructing the user on how to prepare the system prior to the start of data migration. For example there should be a set of instructions informing the user to make sure the AHCI driver is loaded on the Windows 10 system prior to the start of data migration. If you don't use AHCI you will not get the maximum performance from your ssd. If you install the AHCI driver after migrating the data to the ssd and then replacing the hdd with the ssd, you may lose the ability to boot the computer from the ssd. Windows 10 does not install the AHCI driver in a fresh install of Windows 10. Samsung should have step by step instructions on what to do to make sure we get best performance for which the ssd was designed.

This SSD supports the new PCIE 4.0 standard. My laptop supports only the previous PCIE 3.0 standard. So, I was thinking the speed would still be the same as before given the situation. I was mistaken. This new SSD boots up faster than my previous 970 EVO Plus, so it is in fact an upgrade and future proof. However, the problem is not with the drive, the problem is with the Samsung driver. Samsung is at this writing only, making a driver available for their SSD's UP TO AND INCLUDING the 970 series only. There is no Samsung Elpis controller driver for this model. So, Windows 10 uses the built-in standard Microsoft NVME driver for Windows 10 that was written in 2006. Almost 15 years ago. So, I imagine that as soon as Samsung releases a new driver for this device, it will be even faster. Love it.

I really like this monitor it's a definite upgrade from my 32" samsung.

I purchased this monitor to use with both a MacBook Pro and a Linux Workstation. The USB-C connector links the MacBook Pro and provides power to it as well. I connect to my Linux Workstation via a DisplayPort connection, and can easily switch between them using the selection button at the bottom of the monitor. The monitor also has 2 USB-A ports which I use to provide power to charge my keyboard and mouse (or trackpad). [A standard HDMI connector is available as well.]. The monitor is bright and clear. At 4K resolution, it is not as clear as a 5K retina monitor, but it is less than half the price of a smaller 5K monitor and, unless your work depends critically on that extra resolution (or slightly higher color fidelity), this is a great monitor that should work well for you too. The Ergo stand works as advertised and is very flexible and easy to use, and is also quite sturdy. The monitor also includes built-in speakers that are fine. If you need really high quality sound, then you probably want to get some external speakers. For day-to-day use, the speakers work well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone seeking an external monitor.

Worked great for old monitor that didn't have HDMI input. Windows and Linux Mint compatible.
