From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've got these things locally available in the $50-60 range. This being a generic brand, I imagine a buncha those are available globally. Anyone tried 'em, do they work OK with modern desktops (gnome, plasma)? Touch? DP-Alt or are they DisplayLink? Do they have PD?
Sellers are helpful nada, same with youtube videos, just marketing fluff.
I have one I paid a little more for a year ago. So likely the same things internally.
I use it occatioally on my boat with a mini pc or pi 400.
The only negative is the usb c power port dose tend to get disconnected. And it takes about 15secs to reinitialise.
This really is only an issue when trying to use in unstable ways. On the whole well worth what I paid at the time.
I now have 2 newer non touch screen 18 inch ones. One 4k one 2k at an comparable higher price. I'm happy but the general usb connection loos es and reconnection delays are identical.
