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.

    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driver that renders the screen on the CPU to compress it down to USB video and that requires installing a slightly outdated version of evdi plus it incurs a CPU hit.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.
