My understanding is that on Linux, you will not get VRR on an AMD GFX card using a usb-c adapter. Which is why this update from the article we are all commenting on is so disheartening.

When I built my all AMD system 1.5 years ago I tried ALL the adapters. Did I get video, sure. But I wasn’t getting all the features of HDMI 2.1. Has that been addressed? Because even looking at reviews today it’s mixed.

You’re not going to bring in new users to a platform if they can’t use an HDMI cable that utilizes the full capabilities of their TV. Not everyone has USBC option or especially DP on their already purchased televisions.

Why do people ignore this? This isn’t about me or you understanding and sacrificing and adapting to use Linux desktop. We’re talking about real issues hindering adoption from the common user who doesn’t care their steam device is using Linux.
