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 a non-touch 1080p one I got for work, 80€, brand is Arzopa. Works fine, uses USBC for power and video which is quite cool since it's a single cable, it has 2 usbc ports, I guess if you have a lower power output on your PC's port you can add a power brick, they're also both functional so if one breaks you still have the other one. It also has a mini HDMI port.
It came with three cables: usbc-usbc, usbc-usbc, miniHDMI-HDMI, all three good quality.
It has folder case but carrying it in my backpack damaged it anyway, I have a couple bright spots, but they're rarely visibile.
I have an Arzopa too, works as a second monitor for my laptop when travelling
Also bought a cheap small AliExpress dock for the Switch so I can use it as a display when playing on the go
That reminds me: when I bought an MSI monitor (15" without touch) it also came with one USB-C to USB-C cable. All my other USB-C cables did not work for video.
Yeah, USBC and HDMI cables are a crapshoot. My phone came with a fast charger and it always only worked with the cable that came with it, now it also works with Arzopa's one.
