Basically competent support for hardware for laptops newer than 2014. Proper thunderbolt, displaylink, trackpad, fingerprint reader, facial rec support.
Yes however on windows and mac displaylink “sucks” on linux it is practically unusable. I do agree Dlink sucks, but modern laptops have no alternatives to speak of.
My company insists on buying these shitty Dell DisplayLink docking stations. They suck so hard they are just a stupid expensive 90W charger. Even OS X users hate them. The frustrating thing is, these things were supposed to allow us to plug our laptop in anywhere and get two working screens, keyboard and charging. The only bit that works reliably is the keyboard and mouse.
Really? I find displaylink awesome I alternatively use ChromeOS, Linux and windows with no issues even gameing on windows (lowers the FPS but fine for my abilities)
Curious what HW you are using I have a couple of different Dell DL models
Linux on displaylink was iffy but it has been great the last few years.

tbf more often than not displaylink just sucks, no matter the OS.

There is a driver for it, but it bricks my OpenSuSE and stresses the CPU so much on OS X that it’s literally unusable.
I wonder why Displaylink still gets used when DP alt mode has existed for many years now.
We used Dell WD19 docks and they worked well enough. A bit buggy sometimes but a firmware update usually fixed it.

You want open firmware, so this is not a DE problem.
trackpads work fine on Wayland or wirh xinput2
That’s fair.
I’m glad I don’t rely on any of that, personally. Aside from the trackpad, which works as it should.
