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?
