Im not on Linux yet, unfortunately, but I don't get it? Linux doesn't require drivers?
Mesa drivers are built into the kernel.
mesa is a package that contains vulkan and opengl implementations like radeonsi, r600, iris, crocus, anv, radv, nvk etc. the drivers that are in the kernel such as radeon, amdgpu, xe, nouveau, nova, i915 are gpu spport, general performance, power managment, fan control etc.
