For many years I used Dell laptops with PCI-based docks, a few years ago 
they struggled to cope with newer/larger monitors and faster USB devices.

I now have Lenovo laptops, with DP and USB-C monitors (plus a ton of 
other stuff) hooked to a thunderbolt dock ... not cheap ... but it's 
amazing how much power and data you can get down a single (slightly 
plump) cable ... haven't tested if it works as well with Linux as it 
does with Windows.
