Yeah, then it totally would’ve worked and had no other issues
There really isn't much you need to do to get your HDMI port working on Linux. In fact, the kernel module is probably loaded by default.
Exactly. I’ve had HDMI working on even the most hardened kernel on Arch. Either they needed to modprobe or they had installed the driver to the wrong folder and an insmod would have solved that too.
I tried linux-hardened for a while but too many games wouldn't work if I tried launching with Proton. Had to switch to the Linux kernel and implement my own protections.
When I used to game on a Linux desktop, before getting a Steam Deck, I used to have a dedicated SSD with Arch set up just for gaming so I didn’t have to mess with my hardened setup. Steam Deck has been a game changer.
