I'm using an external display connected via Thunderbolt/USB-C instead of HDMI so I can use the display to

- power the laptop

- plug in the mouse plug into its USB-A port

That would work if I got an external display (which I should at some point), although I think it harms the portability a little bit.

I do exactly the same, it's been really smooth that way (on Ubuntu)
