Problem with USBCNC and LinuxCNC was created by paulo.pinda
Hi guys,
I have the following card, www.amazon.com/Mach3-Motion-Controller-I...eakout/dp/B00KXRXAAW ...
In the MACH3 on Windows it is working properly, but does not work LinuxCNC.
Someone managed to make it work?

This is unlikely to work with linuxcnc as it uses a buffered non-real time interface

There is no way to use this card with LinuxCNC. However Mach3 works well for thousands of users, so you will be able to control your machine with that.
If it is important to you to use LinuxCNC then you will need a different interface card.

Thanks! 
Is there any similar solution with Mach3 for Linux?

I believe that the intention is to offer Mach4 for Linux. But as Mach4 is $200 and you will have to also buy a hardware plug-in for your board it is probably actually cheaper to buy a LinuxCNC - compatible driver board and try to sell your Mach3 board.
The Mesa 7i76E is very similar to the card you showed, but it connects via Ethernet and has LinuxCNC support (though still in development).
A more established solution is the combination of 5i25 and 7i76 which plugs in to a PCI slot, offers the same features as the 7i76E and also costs $200.
