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 a Kensington SD5700T and a CalDigit TS4. Both of those are USB 4/Thunderbolt 4 docs and they work fine under Fedora. They support 2 monitors out via USB C or a combination of USB C/HDMI.

I'd recommend the CalDigit dock though as the Kensington one has developer coil whine so if I'm not using the linux laptop I power it down and unplug the laptop to stop the annoying sound. The TS4 has no such issues.
