The HDMI Forum, responsible for the HDMI specification, continues to stonewall open source. Valve's Steam Machine theoretically supports HDMI 2.1, but the mini-PC is software-limited to HDMI 2.0. As a result, more than 60 frames per second at 4K resolution are only possible with limitations.

Last I heard Cinnamon does not have stable Wayland support yet. One of the reasons Wayland was made is because multi-screen support on the old X11 is an ugly hack. Unlike wayland, it doesn't play well with screens of different resolutions, refresh rates, adaptive sync compatibility or HDR.
