Isn’t thunderbolt different than displayport? According to the internet (again, no clue what I’m doing here), Fedora should auto detect and use displayport devices without needing intervention.
‘xrandr’ recognizes my GPU’s outputs correctly (1 HDMI, 3 DP), but erroneously states all displayports are disconnected.

It is, usb4 and thunderbolt are (as I understand) extensions of the pcie bus or sobering, so they do require escalated security permissions in all operating systems. macOS desktops auto approve, laptops request permission, and windows does its own approval. Linux requires approval until you set your computer’s security settings.
