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.

i keep seeing this online but i have not once heard anyone complain about this IRL, all i've seen happen is that people went from "uhhh i need an apple charger, that's a samsung charger" to "hey can i use your charger? sweet thanks".

I'm sorry but it seems like a completely fucking made up problem

So you're a normie who charge thay phone, eat hot chip and lie.

It becomes an issue when you're in the habit of such poweruser tasks as plugging an external display or external graphics card into a laptop or dealing with bulk file transfers.
