I run rfactor 2 on Linux. Might be an option for a more causal sim racer. It’s funny because I know other racing sims are more popular but my local VR racing sim location mainly runs rfactor 2 as well.

Thunderbolt is exactly that.

Thunderbolt 2 and Mini Displayport used to have the same connector. Since Thunderbolt 3, it now uses the USB C connector.
