I have tried to use a hub with hdmi port that connects to the USB-C port of my computer but this one doesn't work.
Checking other similar threads on Internet (and here), I see that the problem is probably that the USB-C port in question does not support video output (the hub itself has USB ports and they work properly).
So is there a way to demonstrate it from my PC to stay calm? Ar can I only check it using the manufacturer's documentation?
For more info:
lsusb -t before hub attachment:
