It works. Plug and play.
Where this get interesting is after installing the Nvidia drivers, which you don't need as the Nouveau drivers that come with Linux work just fine. I had a go with Nvidia drivers and this fanless $35 card to see if there would be any difference in picture quality over the build in graphics card on my ThinkCentre M93p running Fedora 32. Doesn't seem to be any difference as far as I can tell. Except for the one film I have in x265.10bit.HDR format, playback is choppy. I noted Kodi says the GT710 does not support the x265 codex, so no hardware excelleration. However, when I switched to the Nvidia drivers, playback of my x265 4K file is smooth.
Here's where the fun started. With the Nvidia drivers installed, the card wasn't getting the same EDID info from my Athem AVM 60 media center as I did with the Nouveau drivers. When I switched to the Nvidia drivers, Pulseaudio (pavucontrol) showed the HDMI audio profiles as unplugged unavailible, so no sound. Even with Pulseaudio disabled, Kodi would see 4 HDMI profiles, but no sound.
