HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected. (www.heise.de)

I do not really have a body for this. I was not aware that this is a thing and still feel like this is bs, but maybe there is an actual explanation for HDMI Forum's decision that I am missing.

Yeah, "3.0" and "3.2 Gen 1" mean the same thing. Same with "3.1" and "3.2 Gen 2x1". I've bought computer cases in 2025 with the front IO labeled "3.0".

How are normal people supposed to keep track of this?
