after using a lenovo usb c dock and having a lot of display problems. its a displaylink chip. and random disconnects (doesn’t happen on my windows work laptop). i was wondering what are the best supported docks for linux?

in my current situation the dock has the displays, ethernet, keyboard/mouse and audio connected to it so i can easily switch between my work laptop and my desktop pc.

  • Not a direct answer to your question, but I have a Dell TB16 dock. It does not work well - it sporadically fails to output display to my monitors and it does not charge my non-dell personal laptop (a Lenovo Yoga 730). However, it works great for my Dell work laptop running windows…

    Just adding this Incase you see it on sale or something - take it for what it’s worth!

      The Dell dock works great with my framework after I installed their display link drivers (proprietary blob unfortunately).

          Its the worst for Linux, but works great if you need video out on an android device without video output.
