## What it is
A shell script installer that automates installation of official DisplayLink drivers on Debian and Ubuntu based Linux distributions. It patches the drivers to work across many distros and kernel versions beyond the officially supported Ubuntu LTS releases.

## Use cases
- install displaylink drivers on debian
- get external usb monitors working on ubuntu
- displaylink dock not working on linux mint
- install displaylink on kali linux
- make displaylink work on non-LTS ubuntu kernel
- set up usb display adapters on pop!_os

## When to choose
- you use a Debian-based distro other than supported Ubuntu LTS and need DisplayLink displays
- you want automated driver installation and troubleshooting for DisplayLink docks

## When to avoid
- you run Ubuntu xx.04 LTS where official DisplayLink drivers install natively
- you use Fedora, Arch, or other non-Debian distributions
- you need actively developed support - the project is seeking maintainers

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, configuration-management, deployment
- domain: developer-tools, operating-systems, hardware
- platform: linux, cli
