It turns out that video through USB is not part of the standards and thus proprietary.


Just a point of clarification: video (DisplayPort) over USB *is* a part of the USB standard.  You have a non-standard dock.

DisplayLink (not DisplayPort) is basically a crappy GPU attached over USB.  It has some advantages, such as driving multiple monitors over a single port without daisy chaining, and driving higher resolution monitors than is possible over USB 3.0, but it's also slow and prone to corruption, and requires a driver that's not good on any platform (I work with a group that supports thousands of these on Windows and macOS.  They're a little bit terrible.)


sbin/modprobe evdi
modprobe: FATAL: Module evdi not found in directory /lib/modules/5.11.10-200.fc33.x86_64


dkms should have compiled that driver when you installed the RPM.  Run this command to find the location of the log file, and examine that:

rpm -q displaylink --scripts

The log file should have more information about why you don't have an evdi module.
