The firmware / hardware is somewhat mixed:
On my Linux/Ryzen system, the adapter only works on the chipset's USB3.1 port, not the processor's USB3.0 port. Also, YU12 color mode seems to be buggy, only in YUYV mode I get a working picture. Unfortunately hangouts/meet uses the former, so the adapter is not usable for video chat in Google hangouts/meet. If you can live with these limitations it works very well on Linux, especially the latency seems nice and low.

It's a good idea executed poorly. If you buy it, expect to spend a lot of time trying to find a working configuration - and once you find it, forget changing motherboards/laptops/USB hub or it will stop working again!
Trust me, buy a cheaper alternative and save both money and headaches.
Examples of non-working configurations:
- LG 27uk850-w monitor USB hub
- LG 27ul850-w monitor USB hub
- MacBook Air M1 USB port
- Satechi ST-SCMA2M USB-C mini dock (with or without external power)
- Roline USB 3.2 Gen 1 Switch
- Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX almost all USB ports
Examples of working configurations:
- Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX a single random USB port
