Is the a USB-C/Thunderbolt to HDMI 2.1 dongle? Send Displayport and audio over USB-C and then let that hardware handle the HDMI handshaking.

There isn't one that supports VRR/Gsync/Freesync well. What gamers want is chroma/RGB 4:4:4 + HDR + VRR/Freesync + 4k,120hz for their Linux PC on a TV. This is not possible with any DP --> HDMI 2.1 dongle on the market. They need support at the driver level to make this work. This is what the idiots at the HDMI forum are blocking. The only way to have high quality visuals on a PC/TV setup is to run Windows. That really sucks.
