USB-C Dock Reccomendations
Does anyone have USB-C dock recommends?
I have a Thinkpad P1 gen 4 running Fedora I’m going to be using as my desktop replacement, and I’m looking for a Linux friendly dock.
I don’t need the dock to do much. Ideally, it could drive 2x 4K DisplayPort displays, have a 2.5Gb+ Ethernet port, and a couple USB-A ports, but 2x 2K DisplayPort and 1GbE work too.
Preferred price is <$150.

Pick up a used Thunderbolt >=3 one from EBay if your laptop supports it. I have a ThinkPad Universal Thunderbolt 4 dock that I bought used for ~$100 and it has served me very well so far.
😎 I’ve looked at those, but I wasn’t sure how well TB docks are supported by Linux. I may do some eBay hunting.
TB docks are very well supported. Depending on the DE you use, you'll need to "authorize"/allow the dock for it to get used.
DE is fairly stock Gnome. Cool, I’ve seen that in the settings. 🙂
