What particular features are you thinking about?

I have recently validated that it works with BRLTTY.
There were no obvious problems.  However, I have to admit that I did not
test it in combination with Orca.  While it should work with Orca in
principle, I can not say if all key bindings are convenient for Orca users.

It might be necessary to use xbrlapi to get braille keyboard input to
work with X11.  But this is the same for every braille display which is
supported by BRLTTY and which has a braille keyboard.

Again, this is not related to a particular display at all.
Your question is more generic about BRLTTY and Orca on Linux.
You mention that you are already using Linux?
Do you have a specific question you are unsure about?
