From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.

I have to use Windows because of the docking station problems with Lenovo..

The only feasible workaround for me was to use the HDMI out for the display and the station for the rest but that defeats the purpose of said station.

I did get it somewhat working by switching to Ubuntu in combination with the Ubuntu display link driver. But it's never stable
