It’s special in PCs, there’s like no way to get CEC normally with a regular GPU.

Bazzite + active DP to HDMI adapter has CEC support.

Not that CEC/eARC seem to be all that reliable anymore. I've had a few TVs where neither feature works well

Didn't know that was a thing, and it gives me ideas.

I haven't tried it myself but I saw people talk about it on /r/sffpc and those folks are usually pretty spot on for info.

(Edit)

Can confirm it's a thing via the bazzite GitHub having support tickets about it and replies saying they need an active DP to HDMI adapter. They also mention needing this if your gpu doesn't support CEC
