I was not able to reproduce that.
My Monitor made by Acer which works perfectly with HDMI input together with _all_ other hardware I have, was not recognized by the USB-dock.
As indicated in the video, to activate the "Desktop mode" the image provided on this page was used: https://xnux.eu/p-boot-demo/. Among the multiple distributions that this contains, I have used "pmOS / Plasma Mobile" that appears in the video. However, the "KDE Neon" distribution contained in the same image works even better.

That image is quite impressing but IMHO can not stand as proof for daily usability.
