I bought ryzen based laptop (5800h and rtx 3070) and looking for docking station.

Can I use any usb type c based docking station or the fact that it not include thunderbolt limit the usage?

Also, is there a recommended docking station?

thunderbolt stations that have like 10 usb ports and 2 display outputs will obviously not work with just usb

Unless specified, Ryzen laptop doesn't support Thunderbolt.

Check the specifications.

You can "simulate" the Thunderbolt docks with charging by going with a Dock with a DisplayLink chip + power delivery. You will get 4K@60 Hz + all the USB ports that you need just like you would with a Thunderbolt dock. 

 

Something like this > Docking Station, USB-C Single 5K/Dual 4K Laptop Docking Station with 65W USB-C Power Delivery（2*DP, 2*HDMI, 4*USB 3.0 Type-A, 2 Type C and Gigabit Ethernet）

 

You will lose a bit of CPU cycles to compress 4K video over USB compared to a Thunderbolt dock, but there is no other universal docking solution for a non Thunderbolt PC.
