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.

This destroys any chance of Valve making an Xbox-competitive home console with SteamOS :(
You get a cable that is usb-c on one end and HDMI on the other. Not that hard.
there are adapters
Could they ship USB-C to HDMI as a workaround?
But I don't think that can manage 4k 60Hz HDR + Dolby Atmos, etc. that modern games consoles have?
Tell Samsung that for my TV...
DisplayPort is super easy to convert to HDMI and the adapters are cheap. The other way around is not so easy.
Is anyone doing 4K at above 60Hz with the steam deck? I highly doubt it.
This stops them releasing a more powerful home version though. As SteamOS/Linux will not be able to support modern HDMI2.1 features.
