Now I need to patiently wait for Q2 2024…

I’m looking for some input on docking stations. I want 3-4 monitors and am currently looking at the Plugable TBT4-UDZ. Does anyone here use this dock with Linux?

    For Linux, avoid docks with DisplayLink in the description. It’s a weird driver-based solution that doesn’t work well IMHO.

      Yeah, I tried a DisplayLink dock a handful of years ago. Ports for external monitors didn’t work at all, ended up being an over-priced USB hub.

      I ran into this problem with my work laptop and dock and yes the fix is super weird but once applied it worked flawlessly. I’d definitely avoid if possible but if the dock you love has it look into the documentation to install and see if you’re comfortable running a few weird commands.
