DisplayLink is proprietary crap. There are apparently drivers for Mac, Windows, and ChromeOS, and a (open?) driver for the old, outdated 1.0 version. It won't work at all for anything recent.
Despite the similarity in name, it has _nothing_ to do with DisplayPort. AFAICT, does a compressed image thing over USB, like VNC. But proprietary, of course. I was also tricked into buying one by the name and was surprised when it didn't work with Linux.

Linux users should buy something that uses DisplayPort, _not_ DisplayLink. See https://www.dell.com/community/Laptops-General-Read-Only/Dem... for details on how USB/thunderbolt and DisplayPort when together.
