>but even the more premium laptops like Thinkpads are way cheaper(and AFAIK they also provide very good Linux support).

This has not been the case in 5 years.

What isn't the case? They don't provide good support for Linux or they aren't way cheaper? Cos AFAIK both of those are true.

Yeah, good luck updating firmware of your docking station or using DisplayPort's from it under Linux

[philliphaydon]

So the USB C port works fine to a run a display under Manjaro. Haven’t seen a laptop with a display port that wasn’t a MacBook tho.

Unsure how not updating firmware on a dock means linux is not supported well on a laptop.
