Does Driver Booster run on Linux?
Verdict: No
No. Driver Booster is Windows only, and Linux does not need it. Drivers come with the system and arrive through the normal update screen rather than from a separate updating tool.
IObit lists Driver Booster for Windows 7 through 11 and nothing else. There is no Linux version, and this is one of the few cases where that is genuinely good news.
On Windows, drivers come from each hardware manufacturer, at different times, in different installers, which is why a whole industry of driver updaters exists. On Linux almost all drivers are built into the system itself. Printers, wifi adapters, webcams, sound cards and most graphics chips work the moment you log in, and when a new version comes along it arrives with your ordinary system updates.
The one exception worth knowing is NVIDIA graphics. Most systems offer NVIDIA's own driver as a tick-box option during setup or in a settings screen afterwards, and it is worth taking it if you game. AMD and Intel graphics need nothing at all.
If a piece of hardware does not work on Linux, a driver updater would not have fixed it. The honest answer is to check that specific device before you commit to switching.
This doesn't have to stop you
One stubborn program doesn't have to decide the whole question. You can keep Windows on the same PC and restart into it only when you need Driver Booster. Everything else you do can move.
