I've been told that usb wifi adapters work in linux, but they don't. How do I know this one will?

. I recently got this adapter... It works perfectly with Ubuntu & Mint, ( both Debian based ), as well as Fedora, ( which is Red Hat's desktop fork of Linux ). . One thing to note is you need to extract the driver and build/install it, ( using the make commands ), in order to use it. For people unfamiliar with how to do this, or who may be unsure that they are technically capable, the adapter has very good documentation on the folder on the included disc, ( you can also find the driver and documents on Cudy's website for those who would like to view it before purchasing ). I whole-heartedly recommend this adapter, even for people new to Linux. 🙂 So far I've used mine on a MacBook as well as a Dell Optiplex w/o issue.

Will this work on pS4?

I can’t be curtain I had a had time getting to work with my computer had to go a different route. PS4 should have its own WiFi card as well

will this work on dell opti plex 790 desktop

Yes it should work, The only issues I have found are distance from the router/modem along with too many things in between the router and the computer blocking the signal. You may need to move something in order to get a. Better signal.
