[bought a new monitor]
Oooh, this one has two HDMI inputs and a DisplayPort input. I’ll probably just need the HDMI inputs, but whatever.
[got my late father’s PC and decided to install Debian on it]
So wait, this doesn’t do HDMI, it just has VGA output. The only VGA monitor I have at hand kinda sucks. Oh, wait, what the heck is that? Is that a DisplayPort? Where did I put the cable?
(Yeah, the PC works great, only problem is that it defaults to VGA output and will only switch to DP after several seconds, which means I never see the rad GRUB screen. So far, mostly used this PC to rip my CD collection to FLAC, because it has a DVD drive.)
Every interaction I’ve ever had with display port has resulted in me rage quitting. Did it ever do anything?
How?
My only interaction with DisplayPort was this:

Display port? What’s wrong with it? Only thing I can think of is it is sometimes hard to get out if you can’t squeeze the cable to unsecure it.
What? I have been using it as my preferred video port for over a decade. How could it possibly make you rage quit?
Eh? DisplayPort is great, non-proprietary HDMI that we should all be using instead. I use 4x DisplayPort connections at work daily.
Are you referring to DP interfacing through UBS-C?
