Yes. That’s what I’m afraid of at the moment. The laptop has two usb-c video outputs, but one of them doubles as a charging port. If I use both ports for video, then I don’t have the ability to charge the laptop. I think I’m going to give it one more try and see if the interwebs have some kind of magic workaround that will allow me to correctly use the dock with linux. I’m not holding my breath but who knows, maybe somebody has encountered this and figured it out. If I can’t get it to work, then I’ll have to go back to Windows again. It seems like every time I try to migrate to Linux, the same limitation applies and I end up going back to Windows. I feel like drivers from third party vendors will always be Linux’s achilles heel.
