They don't really support anything. They take either an SD card (micro or whatever) or a USB stick. The slicer you use to create the file for the printer would need to run on linux and most slicers do. My Prusa came with Cura, which is a slicer that runs on windows and linux, prolly mac too. The resin printer's slicer was windows only, but the guy that actually wrote it, has a more feature filled version (also free) that runs on both linux and windows. Any of the slicers work well under wine, so if you end up finding one you like better than others and it's windows only, you can more than likely still run it. I actually like that aforementioned windows version for the resin printer better with wine than his linux version!

For modeling, there's a 3D modeling program that's linux called Blender. I have it installed but have yet to use it. I think I launched it just to make sure it worked and that was it.
