The people who block HDMI for Linux are also the people who make TVs and other media stuff. So you may not be able to use displayport or hdmi just because some rich people decided so to make more profit.

This is what I said the other day about this issue. Good luck finding a decent tv with display port! Those fuckers are rare and expensive!

They are called monitors, and yeah expensive but then you don’t get a “Smart TV” with tracking and bullshit.

Just told my elderly aunt to not buy a smart tv today! But do they make 40ish+ monitors?

It doesn’t matter if you get one. They are the cheapest and best image quality TVs available, and many like Samsung’s let you set them up without connecting to Wi-Fi.

Yeah, is a fucking sad state of affairs. I actually paid extra for my dumb TV, but then hooked up a jailbroken firestick so I guess I’m a hypocrite.
