I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077Z1...UTF8&psc=1
and I do not recommend it. Had issues with another device using it as well.
When I used the linked USB-C dongle with the pinebook pro the connection to the monitor started flashing and I was never able to use anything I plugged into the usb port of the dongle. It did however charge the laptop when I plugged in a USB-C charger. The connection to the monitor started flashing more and more until the monitor went blank.
I am lucky to have a Dell monitor with a USB-C input that also provides power. So far it has been rock (pun intended) steady and and actually typing this now on the pinebook pro (pbp) with out issue and the laptop is being charged.
One thing I noticed is with the pbp I am not able to use the USB ports on the monitor but I am when using the USB-C connector with other devices. Not sure what the issue is there.
I will continue to test and use other OS installs to see if it is the stock image or hardware limitations.
I am now connected to a Dell WD-15 USB-C dock and the only things that are working are power and Network. No USB ports and no monitor output. pbp does not see any monitors attached when using this dock.
