    I'm running 15.10 and I didn't even notice the kernel switch (that's a good thing).

      Now lets hope that Mesa 11 and LLVM 3.7-32bits get in before the launch in October.

        I was just about to ask this. I tried installing the Ubuntu 15.10 daily build just now, and was disheartened to find it has the exact same Mesa with 15.04. I'm trying to run an AMD card, and would really like to get RadeonSI working with OpenGL 4.

        There is this guys PPA here that seems to add LLVM 3.7 and Mesa 11 to Ubuntu 15.04, but it doesn't work for me: https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-...ve/ubuntu/mesa

        Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about getting these new changes without compiling/building it one's self?
        The Oibaf PPA seems to have Mesa 11, but without LLVM 3.7, so it still defaults to OpenGL 3 here on RadeonSI.

          I was briefly running Kubuntu 15.10, but as well as one or two issues with the KDE GUI, I couldn't install wine properly. Not to say it won't be a good release when it comes out. Hopefully systemd will be bedded in better. Kubuntu 15.04 couldn't touch Opensuse 13.2 for boot up speed.
