Wow - Ubuntu is so much more "batteries included" - any other distro like this?
One of my favorites was this one where they told us:
- App, sistema operativo e tanto altro per privacy in un mondo alla Gorge Orwell...
- Working on an xrandr launch arg to fix ultrawide issues with OpenGL, need some assistance with the cmd

Removing Steam also removes PipeWire
Using controllers with Steam's flatpak is impossible without steam-devices. Installing steam-devices with apt also installs Steam's .deb. Uninstalling Steam's .deb completely removes PipeWire. I have found this issue on GitHub from six months ago, but it hasn't been fixed yet. I'm surprised there are still issues with Steam on Pop!_OS after what happened last time.

Displaylink and Ubuntu on M1
So I'm currently on Ubuntu 22.10 with Mesa and asahi-edge kernel. You need both to allow using primary GPU as source output. I'm using evdi 1.13.1 with the correction to set the module to the 1.12.0 to run the script displaylink from Synaptics for Ubuntu.

Help needed: Can't install DisplayLink Drivers for my dock. Fedora 37 Kernal 6.2 Evdi 1.12.0, RPM Release isn't working
The RPM version never worked for me. It's only useful for getting the services installed. After that clone the repo from https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi and change to the devel branch. Run make and sudo make install. If you use SecureBoot you also need to sign the resulting evdi.ko with your key. After that restart displaylink.service or reboot and it should work. At least it did for me. I's been a while since I had to use it.

Multimonitor Issue - Hardware or Driver?
I'm afraid this might be a hardware issue, maybe with the cable. I don't have a second cable to swap out unfortunately. A new one won't be here until Saturday. And it seems like a hell of a coincidence for the cable to fail when there's other issues reported within the last few days that seem very similar.
