What has your experience been like using docking stations?

I don't use the docking station. I just connect 2 screens using USB-C and then power. I'm thinking of getting the station though. A colleague of mine has the same machine running Linux and has the Docking station and seems to work well except for flicker on screen rarely when switching display

Awesome. Love your post and your setup. It might be time for me to make the jump from Ubuntu to a more legit distro like Fedora.

Reddit comments mostly...

In all seriousness I think the advantage is two-fold.

1) Frequent updates to upstream packages.

2) Redhat is based off of Fedora, which gives your workstation the same feel as servers you might be managing if you're a sysadmin.

Really just the first thing though.
