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.

One person there says he recorded this video using it from Linux:

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.

What we had problems with was (on Debian Jessie, maybe it is solved in Stretch) Logitech C920. It offers built in hardware video acceleration, but it was a disadvantage - does not work with default driver, and uses too much CPU when streaming video. On the other side is another Logitech product, C270, which is compatible out of the box and offers very good quality.
