Some or maybe all of the Czur models are supposed to work on Linux.
I've a SCSI scanner (from 2001!) with ADF and a network MFPC with ADF both working on Linux. However I might try setting up my 20.1 M pixel Canon EOS 70D. The SCSI adaptor was originally part of a RAID system on a server because I don't have the right SCSI cable for the simple PCI cards. It also might be my only decent PC left with a PCI slot.

The better camera based scanners have lasers and software to straighten the page / flatten curl. That software will be model specific from vendor and usually need Windows. The cheaper camera systems don't seem any better than my DSLR.
The flatbed scanner with ADF is only any good for stuff small enough and the spine cut off.
