DisplayLink is dying due to high DDR prices. Dock companies are cancelling their display link portfolios due to the unfavorable economics.
Good riddance if this is how OSS is treated by synaptics.
Most recent thunderbolt docks and usb4 docks have good display support, and fallback to DisplayPort alt mode if the host does not support tbt4. Which is much better supported over type-c. Intel and AMD upstream host support.
On my computer around 500 MB for two additional 4K monitors but I've heard up to 1 GB. With the RAM crunch, running DL + Docker + browser (esp Chrome), it gets pretty laggy sometimes.
What percentage does one gigabyte of RAM represent across the average amount of RAM in a laptop or computer? People who run multiple screens might spend more on RAM and storage, no?
Same here. Last company gave 64 GB which was beautiful if excessive. A friend of mine says his work gives him 128 GB + M5 Max for work that absolutely doesn't need it and I told him he was part of the problem lol
Also if Steam hardware is to be believed, most people have 16 GB (41%) followed by 32 GB (37%) and that's for gaming-specced machines, not your average person like my in-laws who are rocking a 12 GB iMac.

Even prior to the crunch 8 GB was normal if you weren't shopping premium gear. The truly budget stuff often still only had 4 GB which was ridiculous IMO (I told my relatives they were wasting their money).
