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.

    For the displaylink, are you using the drivers provided by Synaptics? The driver itself is not opensource, so I doubt you can find it on your distro’s oficial repos

      There are drivers for this? I’ve had to switch away from Linux at work ever since 6.1 because of this
