I am happy for you, having a positive experience -- and partly because of that, slightly optimistic that Dell might improve my and my peers' situation.

And of course you are right: A single anecdote is just that, but a few more may paint a rather well-rounded picture.

Cheers

To build on what someone else had said- firmware updates may play a roll here. While I do think any manufacturer should test things before they ship I am grateful that Dell does seem to keep pushing updates for them.

I did install the latest firmware when I bought mine (early 2020) and was able to through Linux. I also had a few BIOS updates I had applied before I even bought the dock and do recall a few of the change log entries mentioning TB dock fixes. Perhaps the same will be true for your machine.

Yes, I am checking those.

Also with you on the firmware development process. Just wished I hadn't been such an early adopter ...
