I imagine it's simply a result of that fact that the number of people using docking stations
is a very small minority.

I'm sure that's the reason it doesn't work very well, but I'm also sure (in fact, I know from
experience) that there is variability in how well particular systems and particular docking
stations work with Linux.  (even different systems in the same docking station).  I'm sure
there is also variability among distros with the same hardware.

As such, I think they would be worth considering in a review of how various distros work with
laptops.
