You can make Display Link (DL) work with Linux, there are drivers from the vendor and an adaptation script for Debian based distros [1] (and variants for others IIRC). You may have to fiddle with the configuration to avoid issues like minor display corruptions or cursor glitches. I made it work clean once, but in the end I returned the dock. DL is to me a bad idea, except is some specific cases. The way DL works is that a driver on your PC creates a virtual frame per screen, composed on your PC. Then this screen(s) content is compressed and send to the dock DL chip using a proprietary driver. The chip on the dock reconstructs full images and send that to locally attached screen(s) using local HDMI or DisplayPort interfaces. Now yes, those local interface(s) may run at 60 Hz and be 4k. But the bottleneck is not there, it is in the compression and transmission over the USB link. In my experience, any use-cases with large changing content (e.g.: full screen video) will give a bad experience on a laptop (which is what I used, and is natural with a dock). The compression will ramp up the CPU load on the laptop, the ventilator will get noisy, and the display content was choppy too. It's definitely not the smooth experience you expect from 60 Hz. I guess DL can provide very good results with a laptop for use-cases with mostly static content: reading documents, spreadsheets, word, etc. Just don't expect to have a nice experience when most of the screen content changes quickly. So I returned my DL USB-C dock, bought a super cheap one as actually I only have a 1440pt external screen for which any cheap dock will support true 60 Hz, and I have a nice experience. For 60 Hz with 4k it'll have to wait, and it won't be with DL as far as I'm concerned. [1] https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian
