Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux (www.heise.de)

The HDMI Forum, responsible for the HDMI specification, continues to stonewall open source. Valve's Steam Machine theoretically supports HDMI 2.1, but the mini-PC is software-limited to HDMI 2.0. As a result, more than 60 frames per second at 4K resolution are only possible with limitations.

This is why many of the expensive Dock options from HP / Dell / Lenovo, etc come with a non-detachable USB-C cable. You can't have the "wrong" cable because the one you need isn't removable.

I really dislike that. But I understand the reaction to the failure of the usb org. Usb C cables must be labelled on the cable (repeating) with exactly what they support in standard terms.

Maybe another job for the EU.
