I got this dock: https://a.co/d/1vaXV11 and have been able to get it working with the MacBook, but my attempts to get it working with the X1 Carbon have been unsuccessful.

I can still return the dock if there are other suggestions? Thanks in advance

It seems like that uses the displaylink tech. have you tried the linux driver? https://displaylink.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=29

An eGPU while costlier, is less cpu intensive, has one cable and with newish graphics card will have 3 or 4 outputs.

I use a £20 lidl usb c to hdmi dongle for the first monitor and then plugging in the 2nd monitor via the laptop hdmi port.

This gives 2 monitors plus the laptop screen - I've not used a usb c adapter with 2 hdmi, so not sure if it would work for 3 external monitors.

My goal is to drive all of this off single cord.

Can you daisy chain a monitor?

Does it work if you lower the resolution of all three?
