Can we dial back the FUD? I present all the time with my Linux laptop that does not require any dongles to connect to HDMI, VGA and DVI projectors. Oh yeah and airplay works just fine too. Been that way for as long as I can remember. This isn't 1997.

'It works for me' is not an solid basis for the opinion that OP is posting FUD. Clearly the problem exists for some subset of people, or we wouldn't be talking about it. That doesn't meant that most people encounter it - but it's still a problem.
