Hot take:
Linux distros like Mint, Debian, and Ubuntu LTS that ship "stable" Mesa graphics drivers aren't shipping stability at all. They're shipping headaches for gamers in the form of severely outdated drivers that lead to instability and bug reports for issues that were solved months ago...
@killyourfm Ubuntu are going to change this and ship latest kernel https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/kernel-version-selection-for-ubuntu-releases/47007
@apjone @killyourfm kind of olf news... Also the Ubuntu kernel release cycle as already been changed last year, bringing some benefits faster.
