Has anyone tried Zoom H5 with linux?

I rely heavily on field recorders for some of my music. I had a Zoom h4 that lasted me years. But it was recently stolen.
I thought I might replace it with the upgraded model, the H5. I like that it has interchangeable mics. That way, I don't have to replace the device if the mics go.

Before I bought it, wanted to know if anyone here has tried one. I liked the H4 because getting it to run in linux was easy. Either you could have it work like a mass storage device, or you could use it as an audio interface. I've been researching whether the H5 is linux friendly, but I haven't found much. A few posts here or there, all from a few years ago.
Do you have an H5? Does it work as both mass storage and audio interface? Were you able to get multiple inputs?
Also, how does the quality of the condenser mics hold up (compared to the H4 or similar field recorders)
Thank you
