Comment on HP and Dell disable HEVC support built into their laptops’ CPUs
jim3692@discuss.online 2 weeks agoThis doesn’t answer the Linux part of the question.
What does “licensing issue” means for the laptop itself? Is HEVC disabled at BIOS/firmware level, or it is just disabled at Windows driver level?
In the latter case, HEVC should work with Linux, as it uses generic Intel/AMD drivers, instead of specific Dell/HP ones.

It’s enabled at the hardware level only if the hevc license is paid, usually by the OEM (such as dell or hp).
