Do you mean DisplayPort?
pHr34kY@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
No, that’s different. Displaylink is basically KVM over USB-C.

No. DisplayLink is video out over a regular USB connection, not “alt mode”. It’s for when you don’t have true video out. It’s compressed to hell and stupid.

As far as i know, display link requires software not available on the pixel, so you must be using display port and confusing both. Display port supports all the things you said

I think you mean DP Alt Mode.
