Hier nochmal zum Thema Steam Machine und HDMI 2.1
HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux
Treiber und technische Möglichkeiten liegen offenbar vor, werden derzeit allerdings noch blockiert.
HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux
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.
In a statement to Ars Technica, a Valve spokesperson confirmed that HDMI 2.1 support is "still a work-in-progress on the software side." "We’ve been working on trying to unblock things there."

The restriction imposed by the HDMI Forum was already criticized in early 2024 by an AMD employee responsible for Linux. Even then, according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver, which the HDMI Forum rejected.
"Unfortunately, the HDMI Forum rejected our proposal," it was stated at the time. "At this time an open source HDMI 2.1 implementation is not possible without running afoul of the HDMI Forum requirements."
