Can it work on a Linux PC ? null

Yes, vi Bluetooth and dongle support in some versions. The dongle supports USB keyboard driven functions, so long as the BIOS supports it properly (many in the past were horrible with USB keyboards) it will work. Bluetooth functionality is always getting better in most Linux variants.

I have been able to use it on a Linux OS project board that includes a Bluetooth radio. However I did need to add a driver for the Bluetooth connection and that was not provided by Logithech. If you are using the dongle, it should work just like any other keyboard.

Yes! I bought this last night to use at work, switching between a Dell laptop with Ubuntu 18.04 and a HP laptop with Windows 10. Both connect to monitors via docking stations. I connected the dongle (aka "unifying receiver") to the docking station for the Ubuntu machine and connected to the Windows 10 machine via Bluetooth. So far it has worked perfectly and I am very happy. I had read that I would need to install solaar on Ubuntu, and I had used that software in the past for logitech products, however it worked for me without this. But it may be necessary for other Linux distros.
