From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Awesome, thanks! The Caldigit is my holy grail dock. 🙂
I wasn’t finding much info about TB and Linux, so I was reluctant to drop that much cash for something that may not work.
Tb support on linux is arguably better than usb support.
Google boltctl to authorize the dock and you're golden, stuff just works for me, though honestly I didn't use my pcie dock on linux.
Good to know. 🙂
A dock with external PCIe might be interesting, but I don’t have any plans the require that right now. 😆
You can say a lot of shit about intel, but sometimes they do hardware support in linux very well.
