So I actually ordered a MS-02 desktop bare bones I'm slotting in with a 4060 LP I have laying around. You're right, eGPU is weird on Linux all over. It works, just always an odd quirk with it.
Yeah, I've been doing eGPU for probably 5 years in one form or another. It works, they're just quirky. Mostly around hot plug/unplug. I learned this time using it with USB4 that the UEFI and my LUKS prompt don't show up.
Interesting? Why do you think that is?
By the research I did, the UMFI doesn't load the driver stack to output the picture there. And I didn't see any UEFI settings for it.
