    We are all aware of that. However, there are tons of studios people have constructed that use HDMI TVs as part of that setup. Those professionals will continue to be unable to use Linux professionally. That’s a huge issue to still have in 2024 with one of the major GFX options. Linux desktop relies on more than some enthusiasts if we want to see it progress.

    If a user only has an HDMI TV and they are considering to use a steamOS AMD like console in the future, they will not be able to use the full capability of their TV. Telling them to buy a new TV is not going increase adoption.

    Corporations will not touch Linux devices with HDMI problems.

      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.
