Feral Interactive's call for a stable Mesa PPA has already made progress, as there's now a stable PPA available for Mesa.
Paulo Dias "Padoka" has setup another PPA here: https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/pkppa
Note: This is a community-run PPA, so it's possible it may someday go out of date and/or have issues at times.
This is likely a stop-gap measure until something more official is done.
It currently hosts Mesa 13.0.2 and LLVM 3.9 along with RADV and ANV the AMD and Intel open source Vulkan drivers.
If you're on Ubuntu, or one of its derivatives you can install this PPA by doing this command:
Followed by:
That's all you should need to do now on Ubuntu to get a stable and up to date version of Mesa.

Dude, seriously? Of course people care, that's the only logical reason to why Feral Interactive even called for a PPA be set up.

Quoting: ShmerlQuoting: m0nt3Ubuntu needs a rolling release. Rolling release has been nice for me using opensource drivers. I dont have to worry about adding unofficial repositories and still get the latest stable drivers. The issue with rolling release is steam packaging old lib files that are incompatible with the opensource drivers.
If you want a rolling release, you can already use Debian testing.
It is not a true rolling release, as it has freezes states for when it moves into stable and it is not fitted with the larger repositories of Ubuntu, and due to its stance of remaining completely free there is no easy proprietary driver installation for instance or out of box support for things like audio and video decoding. in that case the user has to add the non-free repo.
And with Ubuntu's point releases system upgrades can cause breakage as can adding in unofficial repositories, which is why the rolling release would be nice.

It is more rolling than anything Ubuntu. To make it more rolling they need to reduce the freeze period, which they so far succeeded in the last release. Hopefully they'll keep it up, and won't let it become too long again. Mixing anything from Ubuntu into Debian is always a bad idea. Don't do that - they aren't necessarily compatible.
Adding a non-free part of the repo is something you can do at any point if it wasn't added. There are Debian installers with it included by default. The only thing missing with multimedia in Debian repos is libdvdcss. You need Videolan repo for it (and for a good reason - dealing with corrupted DRM protection laws is risky). Other than that, you can play anything you want with mpv and vlc out of the box.

Quoting: MGOidQuoting: paasistiIt seems I got burned (Cinnamon complains that it's running without video hardware acceleration with this ppa) so I tried this. After the first phase it lists out as WILL BE REMOVED nearly every component there is and prompts for "Yes, I know what I'm doing". I did this once, and it wrecked my system. If I type anything else, it takes me to another list with still plenty of stuff being removed (including libs from vlc, skype, steam..). What should I do here? I don't want to reinstall my system like I had to do last time..
Strange, I didn't remember ppa-purge do this with me. What distro are you using and what PPA are you trying to remove?
Linux Mint 18 with Cinnamon.
I'm using
sudo ppa-purge ppa:paulo-miguel-dias/pkppaI tried aborting the first deletion and accepting the second, but that didn't get me too far it seems. Now ppa-purge says that the PPA is removed, but my Mesa version is still 13.0.2 - padoka PPA and the original issue is not fixed (and, skype and steam won't start so need to reinstall those, at the least..)

The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Remove the following packages:
1) xserver-xorg-video-all
2) xserver-xorg-video-vmware
Keep the following packages at their current version:
3) libegl1-mesa [1:13.0.2-2~x~padoka0 (now)]
4) libgbm1 [1:13.0.2-2~x~padoka0 (now)]
5) libgl1-mesa-dri [1:13.0.2-2~x~padoka0 (now)]
6) libgl1-mesa-glx [1:13.0.2-2~x~padoka0 (now)]
7) libglapi-mesa [1:13.0.2-2~x~padoka0 (now)]
8) libllvm3.9 [1:3.9-1~gd~x (now)]
9) libwayland-egl1-mesa [1:13.0.2-2~x~padoka0 (now)]
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q
Abandoning all efforts to resolve these dependencies.
Abort.

Well, I solved this by upgrading to the bleeding edge PPA. Everything seems okay now (no screen tearing as there was before when I tried the PPA) so I guess everything is awesome again. Although it would would be nice to know how to downgrade if there's ever need..

Quoting: paasistiIt seems I got burned (Cinnamon complains that it's running without video hardware acceleration with this ppa) so I tried this. After the first phase it lists out as WILL BE REMOVED nearly every component there is and prompts for "Yes, I know what I'm doing". I did this once, and it wrecked my system. If I type anything else, it takes me to another list with still plenty of stuff being removed (including libs from vlc, skype, steam..). What should I do here? I don't want to reinstall my system like I had to do last time..
I set up a VM last night to have a quick look into this, it looks like what's happening is when you install the updated Mesa from the PPA it also needs to update a bunch of other packages (that are not provided by the PPA) due to dependencies. Then when you try to purge the PPA and revert to the older Mesa version, rather than downgrade those other packages to their previous versions it wants to remove them entirely. Unfortunately those packages are rather important, and removing them means removing a lot of the rest of the system that depends on them as well.

I'm usingsudo ppa-purge ppa:paulo-miguel-dias/pkppa
I tried aborting the first deletion and accepting the second, but that didn't get me too far it seems. Now ppa-purge says that the PPA is removed, but my Mesa version is still 13.0.2 - padoka PPA and the original issue is not fixed (and, skype and steam won't start so need to reinstall those, at the least..)

Hum, maybe there is something with the Mint packages not being completely compatible with the Ubuntu ones. Tried the same command you posted (I'm also using Padoka's stable PPA) and it was okay in a Kubuntu 16.10 install.

Quoting: m0nt3Quoting: ShmerlQuoting: m0nt3Ubuntu needs a rolling release. Rolling release has been nice for me using opensource drivers. I dont have to worry about adding unofficial repositories and still get the latest stable drivers. The issue with rolling release is steam packaging old lib files that are incompatible with the opensource drivers.
If you want a rolling release, you can already use Debian testing.
It is not a true rolling release, as it has freezes states for when it moves into stable and it is not fitted with the larger repositories of Ubuntu, and due to its stance of remaining completely free there is no easy proprietary driver installation for instance or out of box support for things like audio and video decoding. in that case the user has to add the non-free repo.
And with Ubuntu's point releases system upgrades can cause breakage as can adding in unofficial repositories, which is why the rolling release would be nice.
Indeed, Debian did propaganda for years in claiming "stable" means stable&secure, but these packages were months outdated all things allready fixed upstream in new version, the Debians guys telling people only they can do it, but the actual developers of that software can't - lol
In reality "stable" means unstable&insecure&outdated
We have a trusted package base & software, let the developers fix their own software and give the fixes and new features faster to the novice users (which don't use mesa-git on their distro)
Same in kernel, running amdgpu_cik far over a year now, they claim not to be ready to be default, but that is wrong! Until CIK is activated by default, my gpu is not needed anymore and exchanged with newer graphic card. And the ROTFL is: amdgpu_si (even older cards) got straight to default upstream. I'm old, too - watching this for 20 years now, but on some spots of the open source developer community are sitting some lame ducks - conservative & full of fear (till the next fork happens;)

Concerning newest mesa just working for gaming, I would strongly recommend you to switch to a distro which is NOT based on Debian/unbuntu - any other - OR compile mesa-git/llvm-svn your self.
BTW on my distro it's all in AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=mesa-git and I use it with package manager yaourt (pacman+AUR). You can even add a signed repo with precompiled llvm-svn.
Running mesa 13.1-dev/amdgpu/CIK/opengl4.5. stable as always, but newest version.

The whole point of this article is to highlight a stable driver and to a development version which can be buggy from time to time.

Quoting: liamdaweQuoting: aFoxNamedMorrisAccording to GOL users (x)buntu is also the most used https://www.gamingonlinux.com/users/statisticsQuoting: lelouchWho cares!? Ubuntu was sadly once popular, but was never good (like SuSE). Fedora (Red Hat) is from some importance, leading a big part of linux development.
But folks these endless upgrade cyles and delays for new kernels, drivers, software - you want new graphics drivers faster w/o adding 3rd party PPAs, but still stable: Since a few years now there are Linux Distros with rolling releases - perfect for gaming and time saving
Because plenty of people still use Ubuntu and it's derivatives, myself included.
I loved XFCE until I found out it was the slowest desktop for gaming even with compositing off.

Don't know why you say conflicting results, XFCE comes last in every single test. Scientific or not without counter-evidence it stands. :P
Phronix did similar tests too.

Which is why I used the other link in the first instance... The point is two independent tests show that XFCE is slower when gaming.

Quoting: DuckeenieAnd a quick googling will produce tests where it isn't. In my own tests on my systems against Mate and a couple of others left Xfce somewhere in the middle with insignificantly small differences overall (on my hardware at least), so I saw no reason to ditch the DE I'm most comfortable with.Quoting: tuubiQuoting: DuckeenieThe Phoronix test uses Ubuntu's default settings with the compositors enabled.Quoting: tuubiQuoting: DuckeenieI loved XFCE until I found out it was the slowest desktop for gaming even with compositing off.That benchmark is far from scientific though.

Quoting: tuubiIt's likely that the performance disparity is not nearly as apparent on stronger hardware. Phoronix seems to have used Intel integrated graphics while the other test used Radeon R7 integrated. I will probably try out some other DE on my laptop and see if it makes a difference. Probably won't care enough to replace Xfce on my desktop though.Quoting: DuckeenieAnd a quick googling will produce tests where it isn't.
