It’s unfortunate the HDMI forum is dragging their feet on this, but it’s kind of the nature of their business model so I’m not holding my breath waiting for things to resolve.
To use Linux at 4k at a high refresh rate with a TV or other screen that only has HDMI ports, they sell high-performance DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cords for like $30 on Amazon. My Bazzite machine works just fine on a 4K tv at 120hz, and even enables HDR now which it didn’t before with the regular HDMI cord.
If the HDMI forum thing doesn’t work out, I totally could see Valve offering a DP to HDMI cable just so folks don’t need to do extra searching to get the best performance out of their new hardware.
