Oct 28, 2026, 5:08 PM@AsahiLinux so USB3 hub will no longer be needed between Macbook and Thunderbolt dock?
Yay!

Oct 28, 2026, 5:21 PM@hrw @AsahiLinux depends on what parts of the dock you use. Anything attached via tunneled PCIe still won’t work.

I had M1 Pro and nothing worked when connected directly. So if something works then it is improvement.

@hrw @AsahiLinux chances are the usb3 ports will work if it’s a usb4 dock
Oct 28, 2026, 7:18 PM@sven @hrw @AsahiLinux if it is a Thunderbolt3 dock USB3 will not work. USB 2/3 on Thunderbolt3 docks/hubs use a PCIe xhci USB controller in the dock
Mathismathis@sueden.socialOct 28, 2026, 5:51 PM@sven @hrw @AsahiLinux I assume that includes DP alt mode and thus external displays?
