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.

I don’t mind spending another €20. I’m pretty happy with my little computer costing only €100, including RAM and SDD.
I didn’t think so either, but in Gnome it (at least this cable) did, like I said. I could easily tell and it said so in the settings.
Thats very interesting.
Do you maybe know if your gnome system was using x11 and your kde one is using wayland? Wayland might be a bit stricter when it comes to following specs and not implementing hacky workarounds. (or it could always be a bug)
Oh and if you do try out other cables, give us an update. I'm curious if it will work.
It seems to be the other way around. I reinstalled Gnome yesterday to test the HDMI 1.3 cable thing, and XDG_SESSION_TYPE is Wayland. And I’m pretty sure my KDE install didn’t have Wayland.
What distro btw?
