Does the NZXT H1 V2 work on Linux?

No dedicated kernel driver is listed for it.

Extra features (status & monitoring) need liquidctl.

Built from public driver and tool lists, not hands-on tests.

Kernel versions are each release's default (and optional newer) kernel as of 2026-10-13. 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.
