Does anyone understand how HDMI 2.1 support is now no problem? I remember that 2.1 support in AMD's open source driver was blocked by the HDMI forum, but I haven't heard any news about them unblocking it. What changed?

Who is the main audience for this type of content? Genuinely curious because I am not a serious Linux user.

What type of info do you get out of this for those who read this? So i can glance your insight?

I don't think there is much too it, it's a consulting firm. Would you hire a consulting firm with an empty tech blog portifolio? It's ticking a box, it's stating it's a consulting firm in tech, that it's target audience are companies with Linux machines etc...

I think it is mostly "marketing" for Igalia's services. If you want to pay people to do "stuff" in Linux and adjacent projects like Mesa, Igalia seems very competent.

It's a well-formatted changelog of the most salient features of the release. Linus doesn't provide one apart from a list of added commits and merged branches, which isn't very useful unless you are a kernel developer.

This isn't quite right.

This is a well-formatted changelog of the changes that Igalia has contributed to the release, AFAICT.

KernelNewbies publishes a much more general summary of changes (it is much longer than this one).
