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).
The display link drivers are the problem for me. Makes everything so unstable.
Its the worst for Linux, but works great if you need video out on an android device without video output.
~I use mine on an XPS, but I have no issues with it driving two displays in either Ubuntu nor Debian. Works fine!~ scratch that I use a WD19-TB, not the same thing.
