    Oh, you want to plug your own computer into your own TV using a cable you own?

    Isn’t there someone you forgot to ask (and pay)?

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

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

                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?

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

          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?
