Does anyone have USB-C dock recommends?

I have a Thinkpad P1 gen 4 running Fedora I’m going to be using as my desktop replacement, and I’m looking for a Linux friendly dock.

I don’t need the dock to do much. Ideally, it could drive 2x 4K DisplayPort displays, have a 2.5Gb+ Ethernet port, and a couple USB-A ports, but 2x 2K DisplayPort and 1GbE work too.

Preferred price is <$150.

        This is the one we use but I’m not sure if it is compatible with your machine. This one is probably is compatible tho. Neither of them say that they support Linux but the one we use works fine on Fedora. Can’t confidentially say that the second one I sent works for Linux but it might

    Whatever you do, avoid DisplayLink docks on Linux. DisplayLink requires a special driver that renders the screen on the CPU to compress it down to USB video and that requires installing a slightly outdated version of evdi plus it incurs a CPU hit. They’re good docks for IO-gimped devices like Macbooks, but DisplayPort is the way to go for any decent laptop, especially on Linux.
