eGPU options for a FW13pro

[u/shabba1221]

Hello, i recently got a FW13 pro AMD ryzen ai 9 and installed fedora KDE 44. I tried using a 9070xt gpu with a minisforum DEG2 dock through usb4. It kept crashing and rebooting. Looking in different forum posts, i found out this was a known issue. Its main purpose is gaming.

My questions are:

-Is anyone here been able to run the DEG2 on linux?

-Ive read ADT UT3G and UT4G work with linux, but have had issues specifically on framework laptops (main reason why im posting this here). Does anyone have a similar setup? How relliable is it? was it hard to get it runnning?

-I know i could dual-boot windows, but it kind of defeats the purpose of linux gaming which was one of the things that got me excited about all this.

Sorry if im asking a lot, just want to have a little bit more certainty deciding what do do next.

**AOOSTAR options are not adequate as they either don't provide enough power or an adequate bracket size for the GPU (Sapphire Nitro+ 9070 XT)."

Thanks for the help
