USB 3.0 Displaylink DL-3000 series: DL-3100 / DL-3500 / DL-3900

Disappointed that there is no linux support. Will not be purchasing or recommending DisplayLink products. period.

I'm also very disappointed that there is no linux support.
Without docking, the t440s seems useless for me!
Except a 200-Euro-USB3 HUB with integrated ethernet! wow!

Gave all the hardware for return today and claiming for refund. Lookin for other manufacturers than displaylink and lenovo.

Greets,

Haven't read all of the comments but here is my +1 for this being supported. It's been years since the first request for this has come in and people are still requesting. I find it odd that something like this, with constant customer visibility, has not been addressed. Admittedly, I have only done small amounts of research into whether or not this is possible yet but it is looking grim.

With companies like Dell releasing "Devloper" model laptops such as the XPS 13 (I purchased the XPS 12, basically the same thing but I can boot into Android so it doubles as a tablet) which natively support Ubuntu, how can this still be a question of demand? The day DsiplayLink 3.0 equipped docks support Ubuntu I will buy 2, until then I'll manage with Synergy and one small display.

I really like the displaydriver driver in the windows world & don't get it why there is no linux alternative

Hopefuly there will be one in the near future. It's the most debated thread in this forum and there is even a petition that ran quite successful. @DisplayLink please don't ignore the linux world any longer. For me is a closed driver also ok on the linux world, like the graphic card drivers...

The ability to drive an additional monitor over USB 3.0 was the only thing keeping me on Windows. But Linux in a VM on a Windows host has proven painful enough that I'm giving up -- I just want Linux, not Windows.

DisplayLink, if you ever get your act together on Linux, then we'll meet again.

I am in contact with Dell. (I'm assuming) They are one of DisplayLinks larger customers and right now DisplayLink is hurting their customer experience and revenues. Hopefully they can get traction where we cannot. I will not stop pressing the issue with Dell until they confirm a Dell representative has reached out to DisplayLink.

I read a comment by Wim from a couple years back stating that HDCP was one of the reasons an open source implementation is not supported. Is that the issue that is keeping this from being developed?
