I've been using a displaylink for 3 years now, mostly on Ubuntu and the past 8 months with endeavours/arch, but I don't have the Nvidia. For me it has been the delicate art of managing updates to the kernel/evdi/displaylink packages. If one gets out of sync, I lose the use of my extra screens. If you want stable, only upgrade any of those three after checking very carefully. Typically I've seen displaylink support for the newer kernels lag a little behind, or an evdi update that breaks displaylink until they catch up.

If you're more adventuresome, you can just learn how to back up to known working versions of those packages that play nicely together until they are in sync again.

Christopher Walken, only the greatest video ever. References to dune even! Trippy stuff.

I'm always surprised when people buy the non-thinkpads for work, and then wonder why the break, as they are home use at best. The ideapad and their other line are not commercial grade, definitely avoid. But the ThinkPads are in my experience the best, most rugged made systems on the market

I tried so hard to embrace snaps and flatpak. I really did. But the snap service kept bogging down. Installs specifically of Firefox were ponderously slow to start up. And ultimately I ended up with regular installs, PPAs, snaps, and flatpaks all together with their own daemons, update paths, and quirks sucking up my system bandwidth and emotional resources. System was constantly slow. Felt like I was running Windows.

I flipped over to endeavours, really enjoying it. Feels like Ubuntu did in the earlier years. Great support community, lots of choice, but a straightforward path to just using your system if that's what you're there for. And the same computer runs a good 25% faster.

I've never heard or seen this. Mine has it setup like that to the dock - is there anywhere I can read about this issue? Generally my hardware from Lenovo has been amazing and well supported.

I have a pair of Finn comfort shoes that have lasted 20 years. They are well designed to easily have repairs such as resoling, replacement of the cork footed, or other wear points. And they are super comfortable

I moved to endeavours from Ubuntu and absolutely loving it. The arch back-end and simple management options are easy to use of you aren't afraid of the shell
