I bought a new Dell XPS 2018 (model no. 9370) and together a dock station TB16 but it doesnt work very well on Fedora so far.

  • My instalation is pretty new... from two days ago.
  • Just turned the dock station on and pluged into the thunderbolt 3 port.
  • Charging works fine, but ethernet and usb (tested mouse and flashdrive) dont.

Had a look around and got nothing useful so far.

After a bit of googleing it seems that:

  1. TB16 is crap.
  2. Update your BIOS to the latest version.
  3. Disable Thunderbold Security in the BIOS.

It then might work. Good luck.

Maybe Fedora 28 will improve the situation a bit.
