Hi Liam,
Looking for a replacement cable lead me an article that says that removing the cable is only possible by disassembling the display [1].
That is what the phrase "captive cable" means, yes. :-)
Was that what you had to do? The cable does not seem user-removable at my end.
You can't remove it, you shouldn't try and you don't have to. You buy a Thunderbolt cable and you plug one end of it into your laptop -- via adaptor if required -- and the other end of it into one of the the Thunderbolt ports on the back of the monitor. I have coiled up the Apple cable and tied it with a cable-tie, so that it doesn't get in the way. (Incidentally I have also removed the Apple stand, and mounted the T'bolt display on one of these: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00U8KSWB6 I recommend it. It's strong, includes the special Apple mounting bracket in the box, and makes the screen far more versatile. Mine is now a large portrait display and works very well in this mode. I found 2 × 27" landscape screens side-by-side was impractical and gave me neck-ache.)
That's also possibility. I probably should've tested before quickly wiping Windows ... I was encourage by the fact that there were many references to this display working on Linux.
Ah. That is unfortunate. I usually keep it around, disk space permitting, for things like hardware testing, firmware updates, and in order to facilitate dual-booting on UEFI machines. -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
