About DKMS & EVDI

B.) Install DisplayLink Driver: Steps mentioned here

Download Synaptics

sudo apt install ./Downloads/synaptics-repository-keyring.deb 
sudo apt update
sudo apt install displaylink-driver
Bash

PS: if you are installing via a standalone installer then one might have to make it executable i.e

chmod +x displaylink-driver-6.0.0-24.run
sudo ./displaylink-driver-6.0.0-24.run
Bash


After the above process, it will ask to set the MOK (Machine Owner Key)  password & reboot.
More about MOK.
