Both HDMI and display port are at their core, data cables. As long as the noise is low enough to maintain bandwidth, it’ll be fine. The cables them selves don’t have any intelligence to determine one feature over another.
That makes this situation/discussion really strange then.
Because if an adapter from DP to HDMI fixed this driver issue, Valve would know and would just include an adapter in the box. Right? There wouldn’t be these statements from Valve without mentioning the obvious solution?
I’m not sure we are on the same page about what the core issue is with suggesting an adapter will address concerns over HDMI 2.1 and 2.2 features on Linux/Steam Machines.

It makes sense to start a PR war over it, trying to fix HDMIs open source policy.
That’s true, I’m only questioning anyone saying “just use a DP adapter!”
You’re totally missing my point here.
