My M1 Macbook pro is connected to a Dell thunderbolt desktop docking station. This had caused me so much grief with the screen, that I directly connected the 43 inch monitor to the M1 rather than go through the dock. Moreover, the ethernet on the dock is wonky, often dropping out. This makes the work VPN sometimes ... challenging. Was just as wonky when I had the windows laptop that the mac replaced. BSODs were common with it, and its crashed the MacOS machine multiple times. Linux OTOH, doesn't seem to have a problem with the other dock I have it connected to. Haven't had a crash. But hey, doesn't fit the "linux sux" narrative, so YMMV.
