The HDMI Forum, responsible for the HDMI specification, continues to stonewall open source. Valve's Steam Machine theoretically supports HDMI 2.1, but the mini-PC is software-limited to HDMI 2.0. As a result, more than 60 frames per second at 4K resolution are only possible with limitations.

How illegal would it be to provide an AI model with a button "modify the GPU driver until HDMI 2.1 features are working properly"?

Last I checked it requires a closed source binary upload that contains cryptographic keys

I mean if the binary and the keys are available somewhere on the internet...

Or you could just install your own OS

That doesn't magically make HDMI 2.1 work on linux

So install windows if you must have 2.1?
