From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

CEC (technically I think displayport could support it, but generally isn't implemented) and ethernet up to 100Mbps.

This is the first time I heard of Ethernet over HDMI and I can't tell if you're joking.

I think they mean HDMI over Ethernet, which is a real thing, but not something I've ever seen in real life.

No. Network over HDMI.
Nobody implements it, but its part of the standard
