With that said, it’s quite likely then we will see this support upstreamed to the mainline Linux kernel with the upcoming Linux 7.2 cycle.

Wonder if Fedora 46 will aim for 7.2

Fedora 44 was just released, so 45 is in ~6 Months. If the kernel releases every 10 weeks, like it says on kernel.org, the kernel should be on >=7.3 by that point. Fedora isn’t that far behind usually

OP

So reading a bit more closely these are patches for the mainline kernel, so hopefully this isn’t far off being in a released kernel (provided there isn’t a long back and forth because of issues etc).

From what I read somewhere one time they have had the implementations done for a while now. The only blocker was the HDMI fourm refusing to let them upstream the changes. So hopefully it won’t take too long to hit mainline for this or very.

Fuck the HDMI Forum.

All my homies hate the HDMI forum.

Man. I hope they don’t suck like in win 10/11. They’re kinda crunchy in windows.
