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

It's the year of the linux desktop!

(Unless you enjoy high fidelity gaming)

IDK I've got two 1440p monitors connected via DP. I can't say I've encountered any fidelity issues.

This play port is superior and is what is used on most high-end GPUs.

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.

Are there many people that care about "high fidelity gaming" and HDMI features Linux can't support - AND trying to play on a standard TV?

[–] versionc@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Are you implying that gaming on a 120 Hz 4k OLED TV is somehow bad?

A big reason why Linux is popping off as much as it is lately, is because of HTPCs, so yes

But they're fine for that

Are you sitting 1 foot from the 56' screen? No? Then display port is more than fine.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Did you mean HDMI?

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 1 points 4 days ago

No, but I did respond to the wrong comment. Whoops
