I have been intending to buy this drive for back up of my Linux boxen but
Googling shows that some people at least are having trouble with Porsche
drives. I understand I can't install the software as it is Mac but then I
don't want to.
Is there any reason why this particular drive won't work as a standard USB3
on Ubuntu and Devuan laptops?

I have a couple of 8TB porsche drives. Haven't had any problems so far.

Perhaps you might have trouble freeing the drive from the enclosure if
you want to do that, I had some trouble some time back with a Lacie unit
.
Besides that, Lacie is now owned by Seagate.... just saying, nothing
wrong with that, but I noticed a price drop and that seems to be why.
Cheers
