Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

[pinguinpc]

Now both oracular and noble build with llvm18 (using backported fixed version in the PPA for noble).

Hi i stay using driver of 24.3~git2409111137.a9d64f and dont ask me for llvm18, however in your ppa now appear llvm18

But i guess driver 24.3~git2409120935.e1df6c and later requires llvm18* alright?

*maybe can test however needs a backup plan if old error appear aka no3d

Yes, 24.3~git2409120935.e1df6c is the first version build with llvm18. Test it, I can revert again to 17 if needed.

I went to try Steam under fex-emu in WSL2 on a Windows ARM64 machine, but I realized that the i386 package of mesa-vulkan-drivers is missing the "dzn" driver. The same is true of kisak's PPA. Does the "dzn" driver support i386?

IIRC it only supports arm64 and amd64.

Added packages for Ubuntu 25.04/plucky.
Also using llvm 19 for 24.10 and 25.04.

Hi - I have just installed OIBAF after upgrading to 24.10. After restarting post install, the system fonts in the ubuntu menus are screwy. ppa-purging returns this to normal. Is this a bug, or maybe just a configuration thing?

Any advice would be appreciated.
