Support is so good, that when I go into "Software" in the Gnome
applications menu, It will show me if a new firmware for the Thunderbolt
dock is available, and suggest to install it.
Be careful with HP laptops. Firmware (BIOS) update for many models are
officially supported using Windows applications only. For a discussion
of update from Linux see

Fortunately in my case it is possible to extract a firmware update file
from provided .exe without wine or Windows and to put it at the proper
path (not the one described in BIOS though).
I am pleased to see that now HP provides updates suitable for fwupd for
some models:

I recommend to check this page before buying a new box (other vendors
are listed as well).
