[Full list of all supported platforms](https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian#supported-platforms-are)\n\n\u003c!---\n#### Looking for maintainers (developers)!\n\n[After 4+ years since I started this project](https://foolcontrol.org/?p=1777), I’m no longer using DisplayLink. In the plethora of other projects I’m involved with ([especially latest one](https://twitter.com/fooctrl/status/1233455946350891008)), I don’t have time or [motivation](https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian/issues/226#issuecomment-467439973) to continue working on displaylink-debian.\n\nHence, I’m looking for maintainers (developers) to continue work on this project. If necessary I’m more than happy to help you with onboarding. If you’re interested, please [leave a comment on issue #373](https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian/issues/373).\n\nIn meantime, I’ll devote the bare minimum of my time which will mostly consist of MR (merge requests) code review and approval.\n--\u003e\n\n## Why do I need displaylink-debian?\n\n[DisplayLink][] releases its drivers only for Ubuntu xx.04 LTS. Hence if you run any other Ubuntu version or any other Linux distribution DisplayLink will not work as expected. \n\n[displaylink-debian][] allows seamless installation of the official\nDisplayLink drivers tailored to work for most of the Debian based Linux distributions regardless of which Linux kernel version (\u003e4.15) you're using. \n\n## Installation\n1. Download the repo, cd in the directory and run the shell script with sudo:\n    ```shell\n    git clone https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian.git\n    cd displaylink-debian\n    sudo ./displaylink-debian.sh\n    ```\n2. Then consult the [Post Install Guide][PostInstall] to make sure everything works as intended.\n\n\n## Troubleshooting and debugging\n\n***Please note:** Your external monitor/s may not work as expected unless you perform additional steps as described in the [Post Installation Guide][PostInstall].*\n\nBefore submitting a bug report in the [issue tracker](https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian/issues/new), please make sure to:\n* read [Troubleshooting most common issues][TroubleShooting].\n* when submitting a new issue, include debug information by running: `sudo ./displaylink-debian.sh --debug`\n\n## Supported platforms are:\n\n  * BunsenLabs\n  * Debian\n  * Deepin\n  * Devuan\n  * elementary OS\n  * Kali\n  * KDE neon\n  * LMDE\n  * Mint\n  * MX Linux\n  * Nitrux\n  * Parrot\n  * Pop!_OS\n  * PureOS\n  * Ubuntu\n  * UOS: apricot - eagle\n  * Zorin\n\n  Regardless of which Linux kernel version (\u003e4.15) you're using.\n  \n  If your distribution or version is not on the list, make sure to include debug information by running: `sudo ./displaylink-debian.sh --debug` and [submit a request to add support for it](https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian/issues/new).\n\n## Technical\n\n* _displaylink-debian.sh_ downloads and extracts the contents of the\n  official [DisplayLink Ubuntu driver][upstream].\n\n* _displaylink-debian.sh_ modifies the contents of the official installer,\n  _displaylink-installer.sh_, makes all necessary changes for DisplayLink to work out of box on supported Linux distribution.\n\n*  Install/Reinstall/Uninstall is performed.\n\n\n## Discussion\n\n* [Kernel agnostic, DisplayLink Debian GNU/Linux driver installer][blog]\n\n## Donate (PayPal or Bitcoin)\n\n##### Become Github Sponsor\n\n[Become a sponsor to Adnan Hodzic on Github](https://github.com/sponsors/AdnanHodzic) to acknowledge my efforts and help project's further open source development.\n\nSince I'm working on this project in free time without any support or reimbursement from DisplayLink, and [have saved some 100$](https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian/issues/172#issuecomment-441384936).
