    The HDMI consortium are shitheads who demand royalties, and all Linux PCs are gimped to not have modern HDMI features because of it.

      Isn’t the issue with open sourcing their code, and so for example Nvidia closed source drivers support everything?

          Yeah, but unfortunately most TVs don’t support DisplayPort. Although that reminds me someone made patches to the Linux kernel to enable 4k@120 Hz through HDMI without color degradation on AMD GPUs. I haven’t heard much about them since they were brought up in media, but if I recall correctly CachyOS included them in their kernel.
