  1. Have you switched from macOS to Linux (or vice versa)?

    Hey everyone, I’ve been using a MacBook for a few years, and I have to admit I love the standard apps like Mail, Calendar, and Keynote. The M-series CPU performance is phenomenal, especially for creative work and casual gaming like a quick round of orbit kick during breaks.

    At the same time, as a developer, Linux has so many advantages: better window management, seamless Docker usage without a VM, and endless customization. I’m curious if anyone here has made the switch between macOS and Linux, and how you feel about it after the transition.

    For me, I enjoy both…

  2. Fix the High CPU usage (20-40%) issue! Mint Linux 19.3 Kernel 5.4 & Cinnamon UI. Fan kicks in every 2 minutes-DisplayLink is top process

    Fix the High CPU usage (20-40%) issue! Mint Linux 19.3 Kernel 5.4 & Cinnamon UI. Fan kicks in every 2 minutes-DisplayLink is top process using between 20 and 50% of CPU every 2 minutes. I have only one 32" monitor connected at 2560x1440 resolution and 60 Hz and using Chrome to browse the web (Phillips 328E)

  3. Support for LUTs

    I have a laptop connected with an external monitor through a USB dock. It seems that DisplayLink does not support LUT as the ICC profile creation software (XRite i1Profiler) cannot complete the ICC profile creation for the secondary monitor connected through the USB Dock. The software works fine if I connect the monitor directly to the laptop HDMI port.

  4. Support Night Shift and f.lux for Mac OS

    As documented, there is work underway for Windows to support f.lux. However, I haven't seen any clear communication that support Night Shift of f.lux on Mac OS is in the works as neither are supported via DisplayLink. It would be really nice to have these options on Mac.

  6. What caused you to finally ditch Windows/MacOS and switch to Linux?

    I became fed up with Windows 11 because of bloatware, AI crapware, and my concern of telemetry and my privacy. Around November/December 2024, I finally made the decision to switch. I ended up choosing Linux Mint, and stayed on Linux ever since. I'm using Arch as of now, and it's somehow much stabler then Windows. I will never make the switch back geometry dash, under any circumstances. What what was the last straw for you?

  7. Support Windows 10 Mobile Continuum

    In the MS world, Disply Link support is good when running Windows on a laptop or a tablet. When it comes to Windows phones. it is the opposite: nothing, nada.

    Ask Microsoft, They are so in need of trendy feature to boost their market share in mobile phone business, I am ready to bet they would finance the development.

  9. Need some Advice about possibly switching from MacOS to Linux

    I have been a long term user of MacOS for years. Main reason why I came to MacOS years ago was I grew tired of Windows 11 and Microsoft in general. However lately I've found myself annoyed with Apple's restrictions. I can't run some games I want to play on it due to the fact that I have an M4 which isn't compatible with Dual booting with either Windows or Linux natively on bare metal grow a garden. I can't install some apps and stuff in VM's due to the fact that it needs the ARM versions of everything…

  10. add support for Ubuntu Touch

    Ubuntu Touch originally developed by canonical is still being developed by ubports.
    I believe it could benefit from display link technology for external display support
    it is currently based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and is pretty well supported
    it also uses an android container to interface with userspace drivers

  11. Support f.lux and Night Light on Windows

    Flux will reduce the amount of blue light emitted by the screen which aids going to bed. As it stands, there is no support for color calibration to DisplayLink connected monitors. DCC/CI commands are supported, but there are issues that make it not a viable solution (http://superuser.com/questions/257606/is-there-a-work-around-to-configure-brightness-or-color-on-a-displaylink-monitor).

  12. Anyone here switched from Linux to macOS? How was it?

    Hey everyone, I’m seriously considering switching from Linux to macOS as my main system and I’d love to hear from people who’ve actually done it.

    I’ve been using Arch for a while and I really enjoy the freedom and control it gives. At the same time, I’m drawn to the hardware quality of MacBooks Bro Games the battery life, silence, and how polished everything feels.

    For those who made the jump: how was the transition? Did you find macOS’s Unix-like environment comfortable, or did it feel too restrictive compared to Linux? And maybe more importantly, is there anyone here…

  13. Anyone else thinking about switching over to Linux?

    I’ve been using Macs since Snow Leopard, and over the years I’ve seen macOS go from clean and efficient to increasingly bloated and restrictive. It is almost like the 'magic' has disappeared.

    Lately I have been seriously considering switching to Linux because of its lack of limitations and because I am already used to jumping though hoops to run some of the software I need. Also I figured I would not be weighed down by all the performance overhead that comes with macOS (or Windows, for that matter Geometry Dash Bloodbath ).

    Anyone else in the same boat or a…

  14. Support lightning (aka HiDPI) resolutions

    On Mac Mojave, Displaylink does not support HiDPI resolutions. These are screen modes that render the desktop at double the size so that fonts become more crisp. For example on my 1440p monitor, there's a 720p HiDPI mode. When I connect the monitor directly to my mac, this mode can be selected. When I connect via my Dell D6000, nothing happens when selecting this mode.

    You can use the following open source application to select resolutions:

    https://github.com/chris1111/RDM

    A related issue is that custom resolutions added by the above application do not work when the monitor is connected via Displaylink -…

  15. Support for Samsung's Dex and Huawei's Desktop mode Android

    Guys will be awesome that displaylink apps could take advantage of these features, they are already working desktop experiences for Android, we will only need you guys to support those functionalities over the wired connection instead just mirroring the phone.

    DisplayLink does NOT design, manufacture, distribute or sell any end product. DisplayLink is a semiconductor company. We are delighted to provide email support as debugging graphics issues are impossible by phone as we need data for a diagnosis.

    The assistance for installation, and sales support, is coming from the product manufacturer and the seller as they know best the product they decided to build.

  18. FreeBSD support

    I use SUNIX VGA2715 which shows it is DisplayLink adapter. It works fine on Mac but it dosn't work on FreeBSD even if I load dynamic kernel module "udl".

    I am not familiar with that ; if it requires additional driver, could DisplayLink provide or give me any possible to workaround ?

    Thanks,
    Apua

  20. Support Ubuntu 17.04

    Ubuntu 17.04 is not supported. I'm using a Dell D6000 docking station.
    Network and USBs work, but headphones, monitors don't.

    Also the current release cannot be installed without disabling Secure Boot.

    Ubuntu 17.04 is now end of life, (since Jan 2018) so we do not plan any further changes for this version of Ubuntu.
