I’ve got these things locally available in the $50-60 range. This being a generic brand, I imagine a buncha those are available globally. Anyone tried 'em, do they work OK with modern desktops (gnome, plasma)? Touch? DP-Alt or are they DisplayLink? Do they have PD?

Sellers are helpful nada, same with youtube videos, just marketing fluff.

      Yeah, running KDE Neon Wayland and I think i didn’t have any issues. Well, other than the Surface not feeding enough power to be fully lit, so it was in a bit dimmed/power saving mode.

          Just to confirm again - Yes, it works with a single cable both for power and video. But seems it doesn’t get all the power is wants, and it works on a slightly dimmed mode.
