I’m looking to leverage the Thunderbolt port on my desktop to get more USB ports.

Looking around and most Thunderbolt hubs are for laptops and have hdmi and Ethernet and such that I don’t really want.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a simple hub?

Some Type-a and c ports world be lovely.

Your best bet is to get one of those hubs that has more ports and just not use them. The extra ports usually share bandwidth to some degree with the USB ports anyway. Also, I would highly encourage you to buy a used enterprise hub. The WD22TB4 from Dell is a good option. It has two Thunderbolt passthrough ports and can be found on eBay for about US$100.
