Make usb-c docking work... I got an older dell xps that get's heart trouble on 3rd party usb-c chargers (short freezes under moderate load) and is throttled even through the expensive dell dock. I got a lenovo with linux (maybe linux is at fault) where hdmi through usb-c causes all sorts of issues. --- allow to limit charging to 80% (dell can do it, should double battery life. Too bad my xps batteries die a bloaty death every 2 years anyways... :)

>I got a lenovo with linux (maybe linux is at fault) where hdmi through usb-c causes all sorts of issues. What issues? I'm literally writing this answer on LG CX connected through USB-C -> HDMI on TV. -> % swaymsg -t get_outputs Output DP-1 'Goldstar Company Ltd LG TV SSCR 0x00000101' (focused) Current mode: 3840x2160 @ 60.000000 Hz

  I forgot the details. One of the issues was some audio via hdmi that went to sleep and caused a system crash. I think I even fixed that but still had the monitor go black sometimes and lost the will to try to fix it.

I use the HP Z27 monitor with a single usb-c cable to my laptop and then hang all accessories off it. (Mouse, mic, speakers, keyboard, trackpad) works great. At the end of the day I can switch the work laptop for the home laptop by unplugging and plugging one cable.

  It's a dream when it works :)
