======Docking Stations======
You may find on some desks in the Observatory standard docking stations (ThinkPad) that can be used for any Windows, Mac or Linux based laptop, provided it has a USB-C connector. Our docking stations are connected to a keyboard, mouse, two screens, cabled internet and a power supply. You just have to connect your laptop using the available USB-C cable and boot it.

====Setup screens====
  * Windows: you need to go to the ''%%settings->Display%%'' wher you can set you preferred screen orientations and layout. 
  * MacOS: you need to install the free package [[https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/downloads/macos|DisplayLink Manager]] once before you connect to the docking station. Follow the instructions to enable the software (System Preferences -> Security)
  * Linux: normally your window manager has a Display menu item in which you can set the layout and orientation of the different screens.
