1. USB-C connection with charging, as my work laptop has just the one USB-C port so I needed it for both power supply and dock connection
2. Supports USB-C to USB-A connection so I could use with my personal laptop. One pleasant surprise was that the dock did come with a USB-C to USB-A cable even though the description indicates it is not included
3. Linux (specifically Ubuntu) compatibility / support. The product description is a little contradictory here but this dock does support Ubuntu.
I received the dock yesterday and am very pleased to say it hit the mark on all three. I've now got a dual monitor setup which can switch back and forth between my personal and work laptops very easily - takes only a few seconds to switch the cable from one machine to the other.
All that said, there was some minor configuration required for both laptops. Unlike some other reviewers, the dock did not work out of the box with my work Windows 10 laptop - displays were not detected. That was a pretty easy fix, all I had to do was download the DisplayLink drivers and then install. Note for installation, I had to do a remote session with an IT colleague since it required admin rights (which I don't have on my work domain). Once that was done, dock worked perfectly with my Windows laptop.
The Ubuntu setup took a little more time. I installed the drivers prior to receiving the dock, so when I hooked it up it seemingly worked great. However, when I closed my laptop lid or disabled my laptop screen, the displays had a 2-3 second lag. It became evident after a little googling that the issue is known and fairly common. DisplayLink has a patch that fixes the issue but it did require that I update to Ubuntu 20.04 from 18.04. The fix works great in Ubuntu 20.04, however I have to log out and then log back in after running the patch for it to be effective. In addition, the patch is temporary and needs to be re-applied every time the machine is restarted - not a big deal to me but could see it frustrating others.
All in all, I'm extremely happy with the dock, particularly so as I found that there were not very many options that checked all the boxes I had. Highly recommend!
The Display Manager software requires 'Screen Recording' but that is nothing to worry about from what I can tell. My Luna device (before built-in OS iPad display sharing) requires it as well. It can be a little unnerving seeing the 'Display Manager is recording your screen' icon in the tray go on and off, but Little Snitch does not show any network traffic.
The DM software did crash once while I was arranging the displays in the System Display settings panel, but I will not be doing that often; if ever again. Seems stable so far otherwise. Lost the HDMI port outputs when that happened. Thunderbolt displays continued to function. It happened again when I purposely disconnected one of the monitors and had to re-arrange them. Again, not something I will do often now that the configuration is saved. Just in-case, however, I have written an AppleScript App via Script Editor to that runs under Login Items to check every 10 seconds and restart the app if it's not open. Could also just have the icon in the tray and click on it every time it happens, but I'm a programmer... so I solve problems with code often. Still not worth taking a star away as far as I'm concerned. So long as it only happens during display arrangement.
Unclear why the color profile is incorrect between two identical monitors (when both are set to the same one). Likely a Mac or monitor problem.
So far very satisfied with the port outputs. Will try hooking up a device on each one and see how - if - the unit gets too hot as some users have reported. Not even warm to the touch with the 4 displays going for 30 minutes or so, so far.
