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.

Not a direct answer to your question, but I have a Dell TB16 dock. It does not work well - it sporadically fails to output display to my monitors and it does not charge my non-dell personal laptop (a Lenovo Yoga 730). However, it works great for my Dell work laptop running windows...
Just adding this Incase you see it on sale or something - take it for what it's worth!
The Dell dock works great with my framework after I installed their display link drivers (proprietary blob unfortunately).
The display link drivers are the problem for me. Makes everything so unstable.
Its the worst for Linux, but works great if you need video out on an android device without video output.
