HDMI Forum to AMD: No, you can’t make an open source HDMI 2.1 driver.

Linux users can't hit the same resolutions and speeds as Windows—or #DisplayPort.

@lxo siding with whom? And who said anything about crediting only the kernel? At this point, I have no idea what you are saying. So, I'll stop.

Please remember, GNU insist on calling only the kernel as Linux and in turn demand to be credited as GNU/Linux, above all the other software components that goes into building systems these days. Rest of the world isn't as pedantic. GNU would be credited far more often if people didn't have to avoid being associated with the toxic brand it has become.

@lxo please read my other reply, but slowly this time. The mistake is that GNU and only GNU being insisted to be credited. Other parties of the "vibrant community" are 'poor imitations of GNU system' and it has to be 'GNU/Linux', despite contributions of all others. It's this kind of toxic zeal that alienates people and drives them away from being associated with GNU.

@redstarfish @ro @craftyguy see, what did I tell you about propaganda? ? Way to belittle all other contributions and at the same time prop up only your preferred ideology.

"GNU system with Linux kernel", "poor imitations", "stupid arguments"... my, my. Faced with such convincing evidence, I've seen the error of my way. From now on, I'll call it: Linux (warning: may still contain trace amounts of GNU)

@redstarfish @lxo There's a difference between choosing not to entertain punitive claims of a party at the detriment of a community who had outgrown them, and being ignorant.

Why do you insist on highlighting GNU and GNU only, when Linux today is a vibrant community with contributions by millions of people, not merely a kernel?

GNU deserve gratitude for *initial* heavy lifting. That's not the same as getting a free pass to be in people's face, split hair about purity, and gatekeeping nonsense.

@ro @redstarfish @craftyguy seriously though, even though GNU did the initial heavy lifting, Linux has moved on well beyond them. At this day and age, forcing people to call it GNU/Linux is ideology propaganda and a little sad to watch.
