HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected. (www.heise.de)

I do not really have a body for this. I was not aware that this is a thing and still feel like this is bs, but maybe there is an actual explanation for HDMI Forum's decision that I am missing.

Yeah I am very annoyed there aren't many (or any?) very compact adapters.

    I have a couple. My phone came with an A female to C male adapter (will turn an A cable into a C cable) that's about as compact as you can make it, but it is only wired for 2.0. I also have a 4 inch dongle cable that does the exact same thing that is I think 3.0. I just bought some C-A adapters (turns a C cable into an A cable) which look like an A plug with the cable cut off. These aren't compliant with the USB-C spec and can be misused for bad ideas, like an A-A cable, but it does allow you to carry one USB C-C cable and one adapter and cover a lot of bases.
