Yeah, but unfortunately most TVs don't support DisplayPort. Although that reminds me someone made patches to the Linux kernel to enable 4k@120 Hz through HDMI without color degradation on AMD GPUs. I haven't heard much about them since they were brought up in media, but if I recall correctly CachyOS included them in their kernel.
Are there many people that care about "high fidelity gaming" and HDMI features Linux can't support - AND trying to play on a standard TV?
Are you sitting 1 foot from the 56' screen? No? Then display port is more than fine.
Did you mean HDMI?
No, but I did respond to the wrong comment. Whoops
Are you implying that gaming on a 120 Hz 4k OLED TV is somehow bad?
A big reason why Linux is popping off as much as it is lately, is because of HTPCs, so yes
But they're fine for that
