I wondered about this because I bought a box of cheap Chinese Nano
clones a year or so ago and I never installed any drivers to talk to
them with my laptop, upon which I run only Linux. I thought I had the
weird serial port because I ran into the watchdog timer issue that is
associated with them. So I looked into it. As near as I can tell,
Linux has had "out of the box" drivers for the CH340G serial port for
many years. So, there is no need to install any drivers to talk to your
boards if you run Linux. It "just works".

Install the appropriate version, however I do not really recommend
Linux for the Arduino 101, because of difficulty installing the
Chinese USB-Serial driver, which is needed. Again, disk space!
STEP TWO
The Arduino Nanos I will be supplying use a Chinese USB-SERIAL chip
(CH340G). The manufacture’s official download site, unfortunalely is
only available in Chinese, but I have a solution. Use Google Translate!
