If your laptop has USB-C it most likely already has DP out.
Your TV? message the manufacturer. tell your friends to message the manufacturer. Demand DisplayPort on TVs. Be the change you want to see in the world.
Yeah, but unfortunately most TVs don’t support DisplayPort. Although that reminds me someone made patches to the Linux kernel to enable 4k@120 Hz through HDMI without color degradation on AMD GPUs. I haven’t heard much about them since they were brought up in media, but if I recall correctly CachyOS included them in their kernel.
Oh, you want to plug your own computer into your own TV using a cable you own?
Isn’t there someone you forgot to ask (and pay)?
The mighty DisplayPort: “what is this peasant behaviour I’m too royal(ty-free) to understand?”
How do I add a DP port to both my TV and my laptop?

Attach a DP to component video adapter to the TV.
Explain?
The HDMI consortium are shitheads who demand royalties, and all Linux PCs are gimped to not have modern HDMI features because of it.
It’s the year of the linux desktop!
(Unless you enjoy high fidelity gaming)
This play port is superior and is what is used on most high-end GPUs.
bone apple tea
xD now I can’t fix it

Are there many people that care about “high fidelity gaming” and HDMI features Linux can’t support - AND trying to play on a standard TV?
A big reason why Linux is popping off as much as it is lately, is because of HTPCs, so yes
But they’re fine for that
Are you implying that gaming on a 120 Hz 4k OLED TV is somehow bad?
