These are "After-market" Arduino boards (made in China) so they don't use the standard Arduino interface.
I had to install the CH340 driver on Windows too. This isn't a Linux problem. It's unique to these special boards.
The manufacture of these boards includes the link to this driver for Windows, Linux and Apple.
The only reason I was having a problem on Linux is because I didn't know how to install the driver from the zip file.
It's working now. That's the good part.
If you have a standard Arduino board you don't need the CH340 driver.
