I have an ACER Aspire 5 running ubuntu 20.04. When I connect my display link device for extended monitors to the usb c port, the USB ports on on the device works but the HDMI ports do not work. I have installed all needed drivers for the display link and I have tested it on my other computers and they work just fine. Also, the USB C port seems not to output video signals at all. Can anyone help me with this?

    @egydiocoelho, I will check it out

    I bought this, its like a external video card and you need to install drivers. I will have it in 5 days and I can share my experience here. (this was recommended by other people with our same computer, in this forum and others).

    I did a lot of research. There are very expensive ones and some more simpler, it seems the expensive ones are not worth it because all of them are external and dont work for gaming for example because of their response times and other similar issues.

    If you just need it for work (like I do), this is probably enough. Will post an update in some days.
