Looking at options for usb-c to hdmi only, or a usb-c dock with: power delivery, gigabit ethernet, hdmi, usb 3.0.

Examples:

Cable Matters USB-C to HDMI: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MFW2G3K/
Cable Matters USB-C Dock: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0K0DL2/

HDMI is the immediate need.

Thanks.

My results have been similar to @jabo .
Power pass through works.

Doesn't work:
HDMI video out.
USB accessories (keyboard and mouse)
SD reader
Ethernet

EDIT: Using stock Debian/Mate image

I tested with the Ubuntu-Mate image (using @Wizzard 's excellent tutorial)
Everything on the dock is working! This is fantastic!

EDIT:
Upon closer inspection, everything is working except ethernet, as discussed later in this thread.

• DisplayPort video out
  
• HDMI video out
  
• Dual USB 3 out
  
• USB-C power in
  
• 1Gbps Ethernet
  
• SD card slot, (full size)

It is a goFanco USB-C MST Dual Display Docking Station with;

• DisplayPort video out
  
• HDMI video out
  
• Dual USB 3 out
  
• USB-C power in
  
• 1Gbps Ethernet
  
• SD card slot, (full size)
  

Testing is still on-going, and use of the DisplayPort video out is odd. But, that is likely a local issue to me. I have a USB 3 switch for my keyboard & mouse. When I switch destinations, the Pinebook Pro may disable / re-enable my DisplayPort video. I would guess with a dedicated keyboard, mouse and monitor, there would not be problems.

I'm running the default Debian install (updated) on my PBP, and I have two basic VGA 22" widescreen 1080p monitors connected via simple DP > VGA cables.

I can't verify that the ethernet or usb 3.0 works as I haven't used either of those yet, but I can say that it charges and displays on both monitors just fine. However, the two monitors act as one secondary monitor (they are mirrored) with the PBP screen as primary. Not sure at this point if it's a limitation on the PBP's ability to drive three 1080p monitors, compatibility with the dock (it is billed as Mac/Windows, but that never explicitly means it won't work with Linux), or if moving to Ubuntu-Mate will help (as seems to help with a variety of things).
