I've been running disco for a while with `generic` Ubuntu kernel 5.0.0 (currently 5.0.0-8), and I haven't experienced that problem for a while.
I still get some USB issues from time to time with the Dell dock - where the USB does not connect when I plug the dock to the laptop, at which point I pull the TB plug out and connect it again and it is usually OK (sometimes it takes a couple of tries), but I no longer see "unknown event" errors and the USB no longer dies in the middle of a work day.
I never booted into Windows at any point - neither for a firmware upgrade nor for the "reset workaround". I'm updating firmware using the BIOS update facility and I'm currently running Firmware version 1.12.0 which comes with TB controller firmware version 26.01.
