      Was this an active or passive adapter?

      • melroy@kbin.melroy.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        The product description doesn't mention anything about active or passive. Which makes its very confusing for me now.

    Sure, but most TVs don’t, which is the main issue with wanting to connect any Linux AMD build to a TV

      And your TV has HDMI, no?

        Which doesn’t work with HDMI 2.1 if you use an AMD GPU on Linux. You know, the thing the first comment in this thread was complaining about.

      Dunno who down voted you for this objectively correct take. But that’s exactly what I was saying.

      I got you back to positive tho.

  Is it an HDMI issue or an AMD issue? Given Nvidia have no issues, I’d call it an AMD issue.

    Its HDMI forum issue. Because AMD want to implement in their Linux drivers (which are open-source). But HDMI forum do not want them to become open source, see related issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1417

    In fact, AMD already invested several months in fully testing and developing 4k 120Hz. Its possible, but the HDMI forum people are blocking this, because the HDMI forum has the latest saying.. Its all about money this world. And the HDMI forum is evil.
