It's the year of the linux desktop!

(Unless you enjoy high fidelity gaming)

This play port is superior and is what is used on most high-end GPUs.

Yeah, but unfortunately most TVs don't support DisplayPort. Although that reminds me someone made patches to the Linux kernel to enable 4k@120 Hz without color degradation on AMD GPUs. I haven't heard much about them since they were brought up in media, but if I recall correctly CachyOS included them in their kernel.

Are there many people that care about "high fidelity gaming" and HDMI features Linux can't support - AND trying to play on a standard TV?

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

A big reason why Linux is popping off as much as it is lately, is because of HTPCs, so yes

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

But they're fine for that

Are you implying that gaming on a 120 Hz 4k OLED TV is somehow bad?
