Fine for a major release but an item that is intended to be a bug fix should not cease existing use.
#DISPLAY LINK DRIVER FOR MAC OS 10.13.4 SOFTWARE#
So I suppose your solution is to spend $500AU or roughly 20% of the price of my MAC on getting a thunderbolt 3 dock as the solution rather than Apple continue to support the software in 10.13.3 that works and functions with Displaylink? This is a point release and the release notes do not call out that they are breaking functionality. Instead of ignoring the ecosystem that the devices are used within Apple needs to embrace it to get growth and acceptance. Given that Apple is the minority in Enterprise asking to spend additional funding just results in the phase out of apple machines in this environment. The machine still boots fine and supports. I also had a working ATI Radeon HD 5770 lying around and installed that one. It boots fine with the onboard video, but only supports one monitor. I'm running a Hackintosh on a ASUS PRIME H270M Plus motherboard with an I5 6500 processor.
The fact that Apple does not recognise this fact isolates them from the enterprise eco-system and as you have pointed out now results in our company needing to utilise much more expensive products just to support Apple in an enterprise. After upgrading to 10.13.4 the DisplayLink driver stopped working. While Displaylink docks are cheaper its the reason why they are commercially accepted by business such as yours (and mine) in the first place. If you think that display link does not work on 10.13 then your mistaken as I am currently typing this on 10.13.3 with Display link. It’s different just using a Mac for yourself at home versus dealing with these issues on an enterprise level. It seems that the company no longer cares what consumers would like to have but just kind of pull these weird moves like the 10.13.4 update. Apple is making it increasingly difficult to integrate their products into a mixed environment. In an enterprise environment we first dealt with dongles and adapters and now when we found a product that worked for us we have to replace them now.

If it doesn’t work well for some products then people can simply not buy them but why make such a huge change on an update rather than in a new OS X upgrade.
The 300 dollar docks like owc are awesome products but when a dock does the same thing for 150 at half the cost It’s a huge savings. We are a smaller company so spending 300 dollars per dock on something like owc usbc dock is expensive for us since we have to get a lot of them.
Wakes from sleep, from closed clamshell etc. At my company we were using the plugable usbc triple display dock.
