I got a new mini computer that came with Windows 11. I got it setup and running using two monitors through a USB3 hub/docking station that I had also used to support video for two monitors on a laptop running Windows 10.
When I replaced Windows 11 with the latest Ubuntu distro, however, I found that Ubuntu did not support video through the hub. It would only recognize a monitor hooked up through the HDMI port.
I am kind of new to Linux. I used it a bit back in the day, but it has been many years. I would like to know if there are any distributions of it that support what I am trying to do out of the box. Or, if someone knows a config change I could make somehow to get Ubuntu to support it. That would be fine too.
In summary, I am trying to get a Linux distribution that will support video through a USB3 docking station (which I think is essentially just a usb hub with HDMI ports). I am currently using Ubuntu but am open to anything else. I know that all the hardware works because it worked on windows.
