Displaylink ceases to work in 10.13.4

Yeah, I'm starting to give my hopes up.

Luckily I've bought my DL device used and only payed like 20€*for it, but my issue now is that I need an alternative for it and can't really find any, as I have a 2011 27" iMac with two Thunderbolt 1/Displayport ports and AFAIK there's not way to get more Thunderbolt or video out ports for additional displays.

Unfortunately this seems to be something that Apple really needs to work with DisplayLink on, it's not DL's fault that Apple heavily changed the graphics subsystem and doesn't have a way for DL to work around. For now, I'm just using the Airplay mirroring trick to have it mirror my MBP's internal display, and have the display mostly closed. It means I can't really use the internal screen as a work display, but I generally don't anyways.

Thank you for posting the downgrade image, I'll download it in case I really need to go back.
