For heaven's sake. Is there a laptop which works OK with docking on Linux? I have an XPS 13 now, used Thinkpad t460p before. Both of them has roughly 1/3 chance

For heaven's sake. Is there a laptop which works OK with docking on Linux? I have an XPS 13 now, used Thinkpad t460p before. Both of them has roughly 1/3 chance I didn't see anything on the screen after docking/undocking.
- nix0n 5y agoI've got a 5520 with Ubuntu, and my advice is to use the HDMI port on the side of the laptop instead of running video through the dock.
- tga 5y agoI am still running Debian stable on a T460p and all I can tell you is that there is hope. I used to have major issues with suspend and dock on this machine, with Ubuntu and then Debian. I lost many work mornings to getting the machine to show anything on the screen after docking. I tried various drivers, tweaks, everything -- sometimes it would work for a while and then trouble would be back with the next reboot or kernel upgrade. Then one day I hit the right tweak -- or Debian flipped the right bit -- and at least for the last ~year I've had zero problems with it. Dock, undock, suspend, resume, it's 100% there and I don't even think about it anymore. I believe it's because I finally managed to turn off the Nvidia card and use the Intel one instead, but I can't be sure. To be honest, I'm afraid to touch the video setup or reinstall Linux because I might land right back in driver hell.
