Hey thanks Artur - I had my heart set on the Logitech C920 actually and was a little sad on what you said... however this thread says it works well with Linux Mint from 2016 with install of package "guvcview" and miminal set-up.
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=131011 One person there says he recorded this video using it from Linux: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpCYH6r4ECI Another compatibility list is http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/ in which the Logitech C910 is listed as fully compatible (but not 920 which just looks like an updated version of it) I think I'll buy the Logitech C920 and try it, I'll report back here and update the list above if it works.
