On linux? What drivers are you using?

It's been pretty widely supported that the "HDMI Forum" (licensing body) has blocked AMD from supporting HDMI 2.1 (necessary for 8k 60hz over hdmi) in their open source linux drivers - which I thought was the only set of drivers available. For example: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/hdmi-forum-to-amd-no...



On windows. Haven't tried Linux.


My fault for omitting the context of a heading that said "AMD Linux drivers" immediately before the part I quoted then, sorry for the miscommunication.


I also updated the phrasing in the blog post to be clearer haha


You should further amend it to make it clear that VRR is the key and that game mode is necessary but not sufficient.
