Does Arduino work on linux the same way as it does on windows? Or are there any difficulties?
Is the installation and troubleshooting the same?

Hi @yasen_mehmedov,
I've just completed setting up Arduino IDE 2.0.0 & 1.8.19 under Linux Mint 21
The IDE's look & behave in the same way they do under Windows.
Although the biggest difference is in the Sketch compiling times, instead of 10's minutes under Win 10 pro they are reduced to 10's seconds under Linux.
A couple of points to note -
1. You may get errors reported when trying to open Serial ports within the IDE's
See Fix port access on Linux
2. Most ESP 2866 & 32 boards use a CH340 USB to Serial converter IC Therefore you will need to set up a driver for this in Linux. See How to Install CH340 Drivers
I've now set my main PC as a Dual boot - Win 10 pro or Linux Mint
HTH?
