Quick question: In my office I have this StarTech USB-C docking station which supports up to three 4k@60Hz monitors.
I preordered the Framework 16 (7840HS + gpu) and I am planning to use it with Artix Linux (Arch Linux w/o systemd) as my daily driver for gaming and (private) productivity. In the long run, I would like to swap my three monitors with one DQHD display (5120px1440p).
Now to my problem: DisplayLink drivers are a bit of a struggle with Artix. Theoretically speaking, will I be able to use one DQHD display via the docking station at >=60 Hz without drivers over DP-alt mode? I am not that savvy with displays and related hardware, but DQHD are fewer pixels as 4k which the docking station supports. So it should work out of the box, am I right?
Of course, I could just plug in the monitor directly into the laptop. However, I use my setup also to work with another laptop (Windows) my company provides and would like to just have to unplug/plug in one USB-C cable instead of several two times a day. But if I would have to buy another pricy docking station, I will stick with plugging multiple cables.
Thanks in advance!
