    Not a bad idea, but some devices that ship with Linux don’t ship with a DP port. Having options is never a bad thing.

        Modern Lenovo ThinkPads. My E480 has an HDMI port. While there is also a USB-C port, it’s also a charging port so I can’t use it for video feed

          I doubt your E480 even supports HDMI 2.1…

          You can use USBC for power and video simultaneously.

            You asked for devices which can run Linux without a DisplayPort though, and a lot of modern ThinkPads don’t have DisplayPort ports

              Context, my friend.

              Pretty much all modern laptops have DisplayPort over USB-C.

            while its not correct, a major thing about the steam machine is that its supposed to function as a console as well as a PC meaning that you would be required to use HDMI for one of the major use cases which 2.1 would be useful for

                You do realize that all modern consoles support upscaled 4k at 120hz right and the steam machine is directly competeing with these console.

                Most people don’t have a tv capable of outputting this but newer tvs do support higher frame rates for reasons like high frame rate gaming

                Hdmi 2.1 will be important for future proofing

                  I do not understand this word salad.

                  newer tvs do support higher frame rates

                  Yes, very expensive high end ones that very few people are buying. And always will, because they’re niche products.
