I believe this topic has been brought up a time or two, but I don’t see any conclusive threads.
Can anyone recommend a dock for the Librem 14, especially with Qubes? Something that can handle, at least, USB-C charging, one HDMI out, audio in/out, and a handful of USB-A ports? One key thing is to avoid docks that use DisplayLink as the protocol for the external monitor. For one thing, DisplayLink sucks. For another, it’s difficult to get running in Qubes.
I’ve tried some cheap ones with limited success, and some Thunderbolt docks with no success (expected). Any thoughts?
MaAnt MY100-C 4-port USB-A hub might be just partial, yet quite reliable solution (when tested there). In addition and if extra power needed I’d recommend Chicony W12-010N3A (5 volt only input port related) having connected to the MY100-C USB-C power port, but any other 5V only PSU might be just enough to serve the purpose (meaning as well that none of QC2.0 or PD2.0 based power supplies useful with/for this USB-A hub).
Ah, I see what you mean. I’ve got a similar travel hub to the one he mentions, and the HDMI isn’t overly reliable. Finding that specific one will be a headache since Lenovo basically just rebrands mass-market ones, and shuffles through them now and again.

It’s interesting that it does at least sort-of work, but that review is not exactly a ringing endorsement of the product for normal Linux, let alone Qubes.
