I do not have much experience in Linux, I followed its installation guide to the letter. But surely I'm failing something.

Sorry, I completely forgot about this issue after the e-mail, despite being marked important, fell out of the window of recent e-mails :(

So far, I'm not convinced that you're failing something - it may just be that libhpcalcs supports modern Prime versions even less than I knew about :)
Maybe integrating #4 would help, down the road.

What's the output of lsusb when your calculator is plugged into the computer and powered on ? HP changed the USB PID at some point, but the master branch is supposed to contain support for both PIDs that I know about.

Just in case: my G2 HP Prime is listed as
Bus 020 Device 001: ID 03f0:2441 Hewlett Packard HP Prime
in lsusb. 😉
Oh, and it's got the latest firmware from January 21, 2020 (2.1.14433).

Thanks for the information :)
I've submitted this PID at https://usb-ids.gowdy.us/read/UD/03F0 , like I submitted a bunch of PIDs for TI graphing calculators and related devices earlier.

So do we just need to manually update the PID in the code and it should work?

Ok so I tried this. Works! But not all of the commands are the same. Some work fine but others like screenshot and the like fail.
