If that's correct, then guides/advice about configuring X/Wayland to switch video outputs probably wouldn't work, because you actually want to configure X/Wayland to switch video devices if you're using the docking station.
That would require the PBP to support Thunderbolt/USB4, which I don't think it does.
Are you saying that USB video cards only work via Thunderbolt/USB4 ? I find that hard to believe. It doesn't take much web searching to find websites selling USB2 video cards. Or is this only-via-USB4 constraint a PBP-specific thing?
Or maybe it's that you "shouldn't" run video-card-over-USB unless it's Thunderbolt/USB4, because not enough bandwidth, but it's actually possible, but suboptimal with lesser versions of USB?
