If you were hoping at some point to see HDMI 2.1+ on Linux with AMD + Mesa, you're out of luck right now as it's simply not going to be happening.

    Linux has very little to do with DisplayPort. My Windows PCs use DisplayPort. You can get passive adapters to switch from HDMI to DisplayPort etc.

      What? I’m not sure what you’re on about. Of course DP is not a Linux specific technology. Not sure what that has to do with my comment specifically.

      I’m talking about people who would like to use the full capabilities of their HDMI TVs ( while using AMD), when using Linux.

      My understanding is the adapters do not provide all the features of the HDMI 2.1 spec. Is that no longer the case?

        The problem is those passive adapters only work because one side switches to the other’s protocol.
