My Desktop does not have any USB-C ports, which kinda sucks sometimes as I'd need one for my phone. My server is an old HP desktop tower, with two USB-C ports, and I don't need it on there, as it's headless. My Laptop now has two ports, for charging and the docking station, and the ability to connect my phone.

Even if I had a USB-C port on my PC I would not move to USB-C for other accessories - keyboard, mouse, headphones etc. are all USB-A. My sticks are all USB-A, because they need to be compatible with every 2001 ThinkPad to install Arch btw. Only my encryption stick could be USB-C, but that would not have any advantages either.

The only accessory I would need as USB-C for phone compatibility, and therefore would need a USB-C motherboard for, would be a yubikey (or other 2FA sticks).
