Does the Logitech G935 work on Linux?

Supported. 7 extra features available on Linux (Battery level, DPI, RGB / lighting, Sidetone…) via HeadsetControl, Solaar, libratbag + Piper, OpenRGB, Linux kernel.

Which distros work?

Distro	Kernel	Verdict
Arch Linux CachyOS, EndeavourOS	✅ 7.2	✅ All 7 features with repo packages
Fedora 44 Bazzite, Nobara	✅ 7.2	✅ All 7 features with repo packages
Fedora 43	✅ 7.2	✅ All 7 features with repo packages
openSUSE Tumbleweed	✅ 7.2	⚠️ 6 of 7 features from repos; sidetone: install HeadsetControl from upstream
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu flavours	✅ 7.0	⚠️ 6 of 7 features from repos; sidetone: install HeadsetControl from upstream
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Linux Mint 22, elementary OS 8	✅ 6.8	⚠️ 5 of 7 features from repos; rgb / lighting: install HeadsetControl or OpenRGB from upstream; sidetone: install HeadsetControl from upstream
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Linux Mint 21	5.15 (driver in 6.4; 6.8 available)	⚠️ 4 of 7 features from repos; hi-res scrolling: install the HWE kernel; rgb / lighting: install HeadsetControl or OpenRGB from upstream; sidetone: install HeadsetControl from upstream
Debian 13	✅ 6.12	⚠️ 5 of 7 features from repos; rgb / lighting: install HeadsetControl or OpenRGB from upstream; sidetone: install HeadsetControl from upstream
Debian 12	6.1 (driver in 6.4; 6.12 available)	⚠️ 4 of 7 features from repos; hi-res scrolling: install the backports kernel; rgb / lighting: install HeadsetControl or OpenRGB from upstream; sidetone: install HeadsetControl from upstream

Kernel versions are each release's default (and optional newer) kernel as of 2026-10-05. Distros sometimes backport drivers, so an older kernel can still work. Basic input and audio work through generic drivers regardless; this table is about the extra features.
