Hello qubes users!

I currently acquired this dock 
(https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-business-thunderbolt-dock-tb16-with-240w-adapter/apd/452-bcnu/pc-accessories),
 and tried to connect it with my laptop, but it does not seem to work.

I have found different posts here and there regarding the issue, and I think 
the most common solution is turning on the computer with the cable attached. 
This does NOT work however.

I have not tried to boot up without attaching, and viewing lspci output, and 
then comparing to when I have it connected. Will do that and post back if there 
are no better suggestions for now.

I have also NOT modified my kernel yet or done anything to the start up flags 
(other than enabling USB devices in general, so I can use my keyboard and 
mouse).

I am running Qubes 4.0.

Any help appreciated!


Short story: Thunderbolt is not supported, see [1].

Longer story: It might be beneficial for the security of Qubes OS not to 
support it anyway [2]. It appears that the Qubes devs are attempting to 
get it done correctly though.
