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