Blue Snowball USB microphone OK for Linux ?

[microlinux]

Hi,

I’m currently looking for better audio/video hardware for remote work, as my battered MacBook Pro (running OpenSUSE Leap 15.1) is quite limited in terms of sound and video.

Several sources recommended the Blue Snowball iCE USB microphones.

I’ve never worked with USB microphones on Linux before, only very basic microphones with a jack connector.

Is this type of hardware supported out of the box ? Or do I have to expect to jump through some burning loops to get this to work ?

Cheers,

Niki
