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've been using a Plugable UD-CA1 for many years (Windows and Linux) and it works fine. Currently using it with an X1 Carbon G9. As it's quite old I don't know if it's still available but if not, I'm sure they have a newer version.The price was sub-100 if I recall.
It looks like it’s still on sale. $119 now, but close enough to $100. 🙂
