displaylink-debian

DisplayLink driver installer for Debian and Ubuntu based Linux distributions: Debian, Ubuntu, Elementary OS, Mint, Kali, Deepin and many more! Full list of all supported platforms

Why do I need displaylink-debian?

DisplayLink releases its drivers only for Ubuntu xx.04 LTS. Hence if you run any other Ubuntu version or any other Linux distribution DisplayLink will not work as expected.

displaylink-debian allows seamless installation of the official DisplayLink drivers tailored to work for most of the Debian based Linux distributions regardless of which Linux kernel version (>4.15) you're using.

Installation

1. Download the repo, cd in the directory and run the shell script with sudo:

   git clone https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian.git
   cd displaylink-debian
   sudo ./displaylink-debian.sh

2. Then consult the Post Install Guide to make sure everything works as intended.
