<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I am a new member. I am slowly weaning myself off macs (after 35
years) because they cost too much and the available peripheral
functionality continually decreases.</p>
<p>My progress towards Ubuntu has slowed down because I could not
get my OWC Thunderbolt 2 multi-port dock to work. The techo stuff
about drivers was too complicated, despite me being a unix sys
prog in the 1980s.</p>
<p>My current OWC dock is getting flaky (some ports don't work and
it's overheating).</p>
<p>This gives me the opportunity to purchase a new dock, and an
incentive to complete my transition to linux.</p>
<p>I have been searching around, and the only two docks I found
which have multiple USB-C ports are: <br>
</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li> HyperDrive GEN2: Next Generation USB-C Hub</li>
<li> Anker PowerExpand 13-in-1 USB C Dock</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%">Questions:</p>
<ul>
<li>does anyone know of other USB-C docks which will handle: 3+
USB 2/3 ports; HDMI or similar; ethernet; extra USB-C ports for
peripherals, etc.?</li>
<li>How hard is it to get them working on Ubuntu (latest
production version)?</li>
<li>Can I purchase in Perth?<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>
