Comment on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux

Thunderbolt 2 and Mini Displayport used to have the same connector. Since Thunderbolt 3, it now uses the USB C connector.
Thunderbolt 5 supports Displayport 2.1. I wish more devices used Thunderbolt compatible USB C ports. Or GPUs came with a Thunderbolt port on them. They’re pretty awesome, it’s like better USB C.
It seems like only laptops really use them to allow docking through a single cable
