Tested the DisplayPort support on my Macbook Air M2 today and it works reasonable well, just that presumably the firmware doesn't detect frequencies/resolutions properly and my 165-180Hz display gets capped to 144Hz, which is still good!

But that's also probably nothing that can be fixed sadly and it's probably a firmware issue as macos has the same restrictions.

As someone who often conducts fieldwork in remote places, I find it really irritating that many applications now require an internet connection to function.
