Does anyone have USB-C dock recommends?

I have a Thinkpad P1 gen 4 running Fedora I’m going to be using as my desktop replacement, and I’m looking for a Linux friendly dock.

I don’t need the dock to do much. Ideally, it could drive 2x 4K DisplayPort displays, have a 2.5Gb+ Ethernet port, and a couple USB-A ports, but 2x 2K DisplayPort and 1GbE work too.

Preferred price is <$150.

    Tb3 is supported on that, go with it, found one for 129 or so on Amazon. Tb3 is dramatically better than usb-c in every way, mostly because usb-c means different things to different vendors while tb3 is a genuine standard.

    Edit: shit you got tb4, if you get a tb4 caldigit you’re set for life but they’re expensive af, love mine. They’re a single cable solution for everything, 2x 4k easily, think I’m at 4k+5k and it’s fine.

      Awesome, thanks! The Caldigit is my holy grail dock. 🙂

      I wasn’t finding much info about TB and Linux, so I was reluctant to drop that much cash for something that may not work.

        Tb support on linux is arguably better than usb support.

        Google boltctl to authorize the dock and you’re golden, stuff just works for me, though honestly I didn’t use my pcie dock on linux.

          Good to know. 🙂

          A dock with external PCIe might be interesting, but I don’t have any plans the require that right now. 😆
