Phoronix: Mesa 21.0 Gearing Up To Ship As Soon As Next Week For Latest Open-Source GPU Drivers

For those Linux gamers and other desktop users of the open-source OpenGL/Vulkan drivers with some extra time this weekend, Mesa 21.0-RC3 is now available for testing as what might be the last release candidate before officially releasing Mesa 21.0 as soon as next week...

"Mesa 21.0 makes it into the likes of Ubuntu 21.04"?

Fedora 34 should be be released before Ubuntu 21.04 (April 20th versus April 22nd). AFAIK Fedora 34 is the first non-rolling distro to come with those features so to me it makes more sense to say ""Mesa 21.0 makes it into Fedora 34 followed by Ubuntu 21.04".

Off course that's assuming that Fedora 34 won't slip

According to Koji and Bodhi it is already in F34:

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/upda...021-751b6a4485
So it is pretty certain, that we will see some iteration of Mesa 21.x in F34 in April.

So lets wait, who gets the gold medal

Fedora always has the latest Mesa, even a few times RCs.... It's sometimes Ubuntu that is on the line.

Mesa 21.0 should also fix the choppiness of Vulkan games running through XWayland (for example, Windows games running through Wine/DXVK): https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/..._requests/8197

Only if you are gaming with vSync disabled, which you should simply never do - unless you have an unhealthy love relationship with tearing images, of course!
