Is FreeSync over HDMI not supported in linux even for FreeSync compatible monitors?

Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de to Linux@lemmy.ml – 61 points –

I recently made a post about my FreeSync certified monitor not supporting VRR over HDMI. I thought that there was VRR support over HDMI even for versions below 2.1 spec. Am I mistaken in my assumption¿? Has the HDMI forum prevented the implementation of FreeSync in the open source drivers¿?

Obligatory fuck the HDMI forum and the HDMI spec.

So just switch to DisplayPort...in fact, it would have been easier to just buy a displayport cable than it would have been to make this post.

My laptop has no DisplayPort. Hell the monitor came with a DP cable as standard but because my Laptop has no DP port(not even through usb-c), I had to shell out for an HDMI cable
