• Mesa 23.1 released.

  It's been over a week now and no releases for Fedora 38, but then again, when I go to mesa3d.org , it still says that current release is 23.0.0 (23.0.3 for the bug fixes). Source: 12 months ago

• What are these and can I delete them?

  That's your graphic driver, so no more graphical interface. (https://mesa3d.org/). Source: about 1 year ago

• AMD GPU Drivers Question

  You have toe most recent release available. The latest release was on 8th Feb. - the version you have. You can check it yourself by comparing the version number: https://mesa3d.org/. Source: about 1 year ago

• So Nvidia is open-sourcing their drivers. Will OpenBSD eventually get them now?

  No, I guess? You need 2 drivers: kernel and graphics library. Nvidia might free the kernel driver but not the graphics-library driver. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Issues with the RX 6600

  Try updating your graphics stack first. Linux 5.15 was released at the end of October 2021, the RX 6600 launched in mid October 2021. So maybe a newer kernel (5.17.2 is the current stable kernel version) with up-to-date firmware and at least Mesa 22.0 would be a good start. Source: about 2 years ago

• Vulkan refusing to work on an Intel HD Graphics 5500 with Windows 10?

  Intel actively maintains Vulkan 1.3 drivers for HD 5500 (Broadwell) on Linux systems, as part of the Mesa project (https://mesa3d.org). You can see them listed as officially conformant here: Https://www.khronos.org/conformance/adopters/conformant-products/vulkan#submission_622. Source: about 2 years ago

• Why are there so many AMD drivers for Linux and which does what?

  Mesa is a project that provides a ton of user-space graphics API for a variety of hardware, including AMD and Intel. For AMD, the relevant parts are RADV (a Vulkan implementation) and RadeonSI (a OpenGL implementation). Source: over 2 years ago

• Linux Has Grown into a Viable PC Gaming Platform and the Steam Stats Prove It

  If you're getting worse performance on Linux than Windows, it's probably because you don't have hardware acceleration working. You might be using the Mesa drivers (https://mesa3d.org/), which are awesome because they make it possible to run 3D software even if your hardware doesn't support it, but are generally much slower than the official drivers from your GPU vendor (they might even be using software... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• How to update AMDGPU drivers

  Mesa is current latest release is 21.2.5 (https://mesa3d.org/). That version number has no relation with the Catalyst driver number I think you are comparing it with. They are not the same thing. Source: over 2 years ago

• Got an old PC? Here's how you can play 1.17!

  - Add Mesa3D's OpenGL32.dll file to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-16.0.2\bin\. You can get it by downloading https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VWMfZLzEsGOMINszZZ_rvDnFPYcjKzOh/view, then right click the file > 7-Zip > Extract Here and copying it to the directory. (I didn't compile it and found it online, but VirusTotal shows no virus detections, Mesa3D's site is https://mesa3d.org). Source: over 2 years ago

• Steams Proton doesn't work for me.

  It's an open source implementation of OpenGL, Vulkan, OpenCL, etc. https://mesa3d.org/. Source: about 3 years ago
