Making a €40 USB-C hub work as a Nintendo Switch 2 dock


I like to travel with my Nintendo Switch 2. Every time I pack it up, I run into the same problem: the official dock is bulky and feels fragile. Therefore I never travel with it. It bothers me, because the dock uses USB-C DisplayPort Alt mode, and I already have a USB-C hub that supports it and works perfectly fine with all my other devices. Unfortunately, Nintendo went in a proprietary direction (as they so often do), so a regular generic hub will not work as a dock.
