Valve is persuading the HDMI Forum to allow open source support for HDMI 2.1 on Linux (SteamOS) without restrictions 💫

This video standard brawl isn't a do-or-die problem for the Steam Machine - most won’t even notice.

The HDMI Forum holds Linux gaming back artificially tho. Society could just drop HDMI, adopting free'er DisplayPort where common sense is missing 😉

If Valve succeeds towards '26 - it'll be a huge victory for all.
