Hey everyone! I'm curious about using a monitor with HDMI 2.0 that has high refresh rates on Linux. Specifically, I'm looking at getting a 100Hz display, and I need to confirm that it will actually run at 100Hz instead of falling back to 60Hz. My setup includes an AMD CPU with integrated 780M graphics which can handle up to HDMI 2.1, and I'm planning to use Linux Mint. Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I use a 1080p monitor at 120Hz over HDMI without any problems—it runs smoothly! Just double-check that your monitor supports HDMI 2.0.
What resolution are you aiming for? Generally speaking, 100Hz isn't too demanding, so you should be good with HDMI 2.0 under normal circumstances.
If you can get your hands on a monitor, it's pretty straightforward to test. Most Linux distros offer 'live images' that you can run from a USB. Just boot it up and see if you can get everything functioning right before making a purchase!
