The HDMI Forum refuses to have an open driver for HDMI 2.1, so even if you use a HDMI to DP converter, some things probably wont work, like VRR. Blame the HDMI Forum, not Linux. Turns out my laptop does have a Mini DisplayPort port, but my LG TV only has HDMI. Still, reluctant to purchase a Mini DP to HDMI cable when I'm still not 100% on what the exact issue is (for all I know it could just be the graphics drivers or the Xfce compositor acting weird) I mean, "it works" as is, but my laptop and TV having different resolutions and refresh rates is probably causing the tearing and overscan I just wanna watch my animu on the big screen >_> --- https://i.imgur.com/TGkNCva.gif <cite>FL81 posted [p:974895735] in I installe...
