I prefer one that will work out of the box on Linux, I would not want to involve WINE for example.
Anything working out of the box with Linux compatible settings software would be absolutely awesome.
Thanks ahead of time for your comments and hopefully, recommendations 
I suspect most webcams should work without any special drivers or set up. If it’s UVC compliant (USB Video device Class), it’ll be supported by the uvcvideo kernel driver module.
That’s been my experience so far with a few different ones.
For example, something from Logitech:
Even Magewell USB capture devices are UVC compliant and simply plug and play. These allow you to use a non-USB camera for example, like a webcam. I plug in my DSLR and use it as a an awesome quality webcam for various event streaming tasks.
Hi Bink,
TY for replying.
What software do you use to configure it—or, how configurable is it in Linux?
J
My use case is more inline with meetings, teams, ZOOM, various medical meetings (everything outside of teams/discord is usually done in Vivaldi)
What sort of configuration are you needing (just so I’m properly addressing your question)?
For now I just want to do meetings over ZOOM/TEAMS/DISCORDS and various medical services via chrome based browsers.
I really do not need 4/8K but I do not mind having it either, I don’t mind spending up to say 500 on a webcam. I can probably get a real good one for $300 or so though if the reviews are correct.
I did my reading and now I am just getting opinions from experienced Linux users.
Generally I haven’t needed configuration software. When I’m using my DSLR, I can adjust exposure and colour on-camera.
If I’m event streaming, I use OBS Studio, which also gives me control of input colour space and resolution.
If you need webcam controls, you could try something like cameractrls, which also provides some model specific feature support, for Logitech Brio’s and such.
I’ve used loads of Logitech C920’s, C922 and Brio’s in the past for various public interactive projects, and those cameras are pretty good for webcams. But, they are still just webcams with relatively small sensors, so don’t expect DSLR quality (or even remotely close).
If I were looking for a new webcam now though, I’d also be looking around to see if newer competing options have emerged.
TYVM for your input Bink.
Much appreciated.
The 4K thing can be a bit misleading I think.
For example, my DSLR is 1080p only. But it’s quality when connected via the Magewell USB capture device, is leaps and bounds ahead of the Logitech Brio 4K.
4K is supposed to have 4x the pixel data of 1080p. But if that data has been captured by a tiny tiny camera sensor, 4K or 1080p, there’s not going to be much difference, and that’s the case when comparing the Logitech C920 vs Logitech Brio 4K.
Bigger sensors matter, and that’s why a tiny webcam sensor, even at 4K, is not even close to my DSLR’s full-frame sensor at 1080p.
I have a Logitech Brio 4K in my kit. I rarely use it. My point there is mainly, don’t be over-sold on 4K webcams 
Just food for thought.
I have been using this guy without issues
I did get a separate microphone however
