Does anyone understand how HDMI 2.1 support is now no problem? I remember that 2.1 support in AMD's open source driver was blocked by the HDMI forum, but I haven't heard any news about them unblocking it. What changed?

Who is the main audience for this type of content? Genuinely curious because I am not a serious Linux user.

What type of info do you get out of this for those who read this? So i can glance your insight?

I clicked this one with no hype. I am now exited to update the kernel of my raspberry pi 4.

Okay, so ELI 5 why I would now use HDMI instead of DP?

All my monitors support DP, my GPU has more ports for DP ...

I am genuinely interested as I've never even considered using HDMI for my Desktop.

Why is DRM being implemented in the Kernel; What is the profile for an end-user who wants this in their FOSS?
