SUCCESS with Plugable's UD-6950PDZ in Linux :)
Answering myself here -- I went ahead and bought a Plugable UD-6950PDZ, and it just worked fine with DisplayLink (proprietary) drivers, using latest 5.5 Release at https://synaptics.com/products/displ...ads/ubuntu-5.5 .
Improvements I found, comparing with my (now)previous Dell D6000 Dock to run 3 external monitors plus builtin display (Thinkpad X1C9) * run much-o-much cooler -- for the D6000 to be usable I had to install an external fan, to get a more/less stable workday without spontaneous resets * less frequent resets (have one~two this 1st day trying it) * coming back from inactivity (monitors output shut-off by Linux) is predictable w/same displays' layout -- kinda obvious you want this, but the D6000 sometimes did completely shut-off the HDMI output, needing a full hard-reset of it * way more HDMI|DP options, as *each* of the 3 extn monitor ports has both (you need to choose one per port) * more USB-3 outputs |
