Gonna have to wait to see how well it works with Linux. It says Ubuntu in the list of operating systems, but then I finally talks about Windows in a bunch of places: https://www.startech.com/en-us/universal-laptop-docking-stations/132n-tb4usb4dock https://www.startech.com/en-us/universal-laptop-docking-stat...

This is ultimately just a bunch of bog standard USB and DisplayPort (even the HDMI is going to look like DisplayPort to the host). It should work as well as any other Thunderbolt dock works in Linux. There's some room for driver issues, but if it works with "Ubuntu" it almost certainly is fine in that respect assuming you're using a recent enough kernel.

  It does say driverless setup. That’s a huge selling point, for me.
