Maybe I'm misunderstanding you but, when I plug the official power supply to a USB 2 port (with an adapter) the pi doesn't turn on.For Pi gadgets one only needs a USB 2 hub. This is because the USB C sockets are only USB 2.After buying this product (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CSVYFRYQ), I am now getting the low voltage alert on my OS.
So I bought this other product (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07TS17VB9), the voltage drops in fact by .6
From 5.1 to 4.5
Would anyone have a usb c hub to recommend, like a tried solution?
Because this hub was rated as 100w capable, and I am using the official power supply which only pumps up to 27w.
I even bought a 100w power supply to try to make it work, however the voltage remains inferior to what it's supposed to be.
Since USB 2 hubs are simpler, they're easy to pry apart and separate the power from the data lines.
I successfully modified four hubs of this type

to power twelve Pi 4 computers and for Pi Zeros when building a micro cloud in a 2U chassis.

And looking at the pictures from the thread you posted, all the pis seem to be connected through usb c?
