Hi All – Has anyone tried using a USB 4K adapter ? Something like Startech USB32HD4K?
Are these devices on option for linux ? Thanks
Jerry

they seem to only have binary drivers for Ubuntu 14+, with no source links on the vendor’s website, and I looked up the chip it uses, DisplayLink DL-5500, that too says it only supports Ubuntu, and had no source download links either, further, the Ubuntu driver consists of 3 separate giant .run files for 14.04, 17.10, 16+18+20, so even you are running Ubuntu, you’re dependent on the vendor supplying drivers for future releases in a timely manner.
