Iota Battery Backup

Has anyone tried the HID-UPS protocol on Ubuntu 24.04 on the IoTa board? The wiki (https://wiki.dfrobot.com/SKU_DFR1247_UPS_Expansion_Board) in the Q/A sections says it is not supported because other OS's beside windows do not support HID-USB. Ubuntu has been supporting usbhid-ups drivers via NUT for years. Is there another reason? (Possible not tested)
Q: Is Linux or macOS supported?
A: No. Only Windows 10/11 natively supports the HID-UPS protocol. Other OSes cannot detect battery status.
I am waiting on the boards to arrive to test, but curious if the community has any experience?
