From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Based on your comment, I understand that AMD GPUs aren't capable of 8k@60 over HDMI. Is that the case? If so, why?
Only on Linux, because the HDMI forum didn't allow AMD to write an open source driver with HDMI 2.1 features
AMD made an open source driver for HDMI 2.1 but HDMI forum won't approve. They locked down the specification for 2.1 and say the driver would reveal it.

I don't know if an earlier version can do 8k@60HD.
