It might be worth looking through the [Dock Megathread](https://community.frame.work/t/usb-c-thunderbolt-dock-megathread/1460) to check for compatibility and concerns with the existing docks.

Personally, I have a Kensington Dock from a while back (2019-ish), and while it worked in Windows on my 11th gen, it didn’t on various flavors of Linux. I have the same issues with it, with my AMD 7040 mainboard on Linux. (one display, ethernet, and half the USB ports).

Just another anecdote to help out.
