Has anyone any experience of the HP Dock with ZBook laptops, in particular HP TB Dock 230W and HP ZBook 15 Power G6 / G7 working under Arch specifically ?
I hear plenty of nightmare stories about Docks in general. My old trusty Dell one works great but that doesn't use TB.

I am having an abolute nightmare with the dock. I have here a "ZBook 15 G6 Mobile Workstation" with the "HP Dock G2" connecting two displayport screens.
The laptop itself is fine but I am having problems using the dock. Some examples
* no external screens until after login when using the nvidia discrete graphics (need to blind-login because login box is on one of the external displays)
* works fine with the integrated intel graphics, but only until a "power event" such as suspend/resume or disconnect/reconnect of the thunderbolt dock
* hard crashes, not yet narrowed down why
The jury's still out... trying to get to the bottom of the issues. I also have Ubuntu 20.04 and there are similar problems there, although the behaviour's slightly different (e.g after a power event, external displays show black screen with mouse pointer visible but nothing else). Similar crash unreliability on Ubuntu.
