Hiya!
This is probably more simple than what I’m making into, but I want to be sure, so here we go:
Currently in the market for a good HDMI cable, however, I am curious as to what I need to know (as I know nothing about these cables) before buying one. So my use case for this scenario is a 3M long HDMI cable that will connect my desktop(Nobara or Bazzite) to my TV (that has Nvidia Shield). This is for easy access to couch gaming. My desktop has a RX 6700 XT card, but unsure about the specifications of the TV other than it being a 70inch one (can try to find this if its relevant), but I am not looking to stream 4k. So let me know what kinda specs/details i need to look for in a HDMI cable for this :)))
PS. I tried setting up Sunlight + Moonlight, but honestly seemed like a bit too much configuration for my liking, but might give it a go again later on. I’ve also only got access to medium-speed Wifi atm, so this isn’t optional.
Is there a good reason they won’t get acceptance?
Good reasons no, it’s about hiding HDMI spec and protecting some shit DRM
AMD wants to open-source the driver, the HDMI Forum doesn’t like that
their kernel module is open source, which is a no-go for the hdmi forum. if they would/could put the hdmi stuff into a binary blob like nvidia does, they would (likely) be in the clear. alas.
