As someone who is to young to have know bbs's when they were popular. What are the best ways to start?

after using a lenovo usb c dock and having a lot of display problems. its a displaylink chip. and random disconnects (doesn't happen on my windows work laptop). i was wondering what are the best supported docks for linux?

in my current situation the dock has the displays, ethernet, keyboard/mouse and audio connected to it so i can easily switch between my work laptop and my desktop pc.

does anybody use this for a normal home desktop setting? How is performamce? I was looking at this to use my server to host my desktop OS. so i can just back it up together with my normal backup
