Perhaps it is because I have used Linux for quite a long time now, and it did not always work so well, but I still smile when I plug my laptop (Debian, Gnome, Wayland) into a Thunderbolt dock via USB-C shaped connector, and its display appears on multiple 4K monitors within a couple of seconds.

I unplug it, and it comes back to the laptop screen.

Screen rotation on my laptop works flawlessly.

Thank you - genuinely - to everyone who has worked on making this happen so seamlessly.

My 2026 Linux experience:

External display: just works

Screen rotation: just works

Webcam (internal, external): just works

Audio (internal, external, Bluetooth): just works

Bluetooth: just works

Wi-Fi: just works

Ethernet: just works

WWAN (integrated cellular modem): just works

Printing: just works

#Linux #Debian #Gnome

@neil Wait... where the hell did you get a printer that works? I didn't think they made those, except by accident. 
Best printer 2025: just buy a Brother laser printer, the winner is clear, middle finger in the air

Buying any random Brother laser printer will let you print things without thinking about it too much
