Some Linux distributions require adding udev rules for applications to have USB device access but other then that, it's pretty much plug and play.

A bit more convenient than having to use the YubiKey apps for TOTP and such.

My now-defunct u2f-hidraw-policy package did this in a generic manner. The code was subsequently ported into the upstream udev code, so any up to date distro should automatically detect and handle U2F devices. If they don’t, file an issue with upstream systemd and it’ll get fixed. Feel free to file an issue on u2f-hidraw-policy too if you want my attention.
Was not aware. Thank you!
