As described in the bug report I have observed the following that make
me think that a hardware issue can be excluded:

> All above modes of connection work as expected with the same laptop, dock, 
> and display on Windows 10 (installed as dual boot along side Ubuntu).
> All above modes of connection also work as expected with an older laptop 
> (ThinkPad T470s - Ubuntu 20.04 - kernel 5.4.0), and the same dock and display.
> This leads me to believe that this is not a hardware issue.

My main operating system is Ubuntu and I only use Windows on rare
occasion, so I do not have months of usage under Windows that I can
report on. However, whenever I test with the T14s on Windows the monitor
connection through the dock works immediately and reliably, while it
never works on Linux with the T14s. So, even if there was an underlying
hardware issue somewhere, it would still seem that there is a software
issue as well which makes me not encounter any issues on Windows, while
consistently observing an issue on Linux.

You report that you are using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, I am using Ubuntu 20.10.
The corresponding difference in kernel may well be relevant here. Also,
just to be sure, do you have the same laptop model (ThinkPad T14s Gen 1
- AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U) or a different one?
