I just found this discoussion about the motu 828 (2024).
Thank you very much @mixingmanatee for cuemix. I downloaded and it launchs here on fedora.
I am really intersted by this device to replace my rme fireface 802 (which is not really stable on fedora)
Before I buy the interface, I'd like to know
Do every i/o of the 828 work on linux (10 analog + 16 adats)?
Thank you
Speaking from my personal experience (since we don't officially support Linux, there has been no formal testing), the I/O works fine for me with my setup (Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS). I do know that there can be some variations depending on the specific version of the Linux kernel that you are running, as there were a handful of important fixes to class-compliant audio which went into the kernel within the past few years, but if you're on a fairly recent version of the kernel I would expect it to function correctly.
Linux compatibility is a buying argument for me. Especially when It is possible to use the device fully featured without using another OS.
The 828ES was solving that gracefully by providing a web interface. So far I don't understand why that way hasn't persisted especially with the ease of maintenance -> One way which works for everyone.
Unfortunately, 828ES has become difficult to find.
Jared from MOTU here in a totally unofficial capacity - I was really happy to see the level of excitement about the new 828 in Linux circles! To try to help you guys out, I put together this unofficial build of CueMix 5 for Linux in my spare time that should allow you to control your 828 while it's plugged into a Linux computer. To use it, just go into the build folder and run com.motu.CueMix5.
This should work for local control of both UltraLite-mk5 and 828 devices - For UltraLite-mk5, it should show up on the discovery page; for the 828, you'll need to click the gear icon and choose "Enable WebMIDI".
Would love to hear how it goes if it's helpful for anyone!

Do you have news about the problems with the ultralite avb es and other avb interfaces and linux? I was waiting for a solution but probably i've to wait for the next-gen of motu avb...
