Note: This setup is both for my android and pc Edit: For those recommending paid services and selfhosting, I don't have the money nor resources for either. Also it seams some people are confusing my android setup with my PC setup so I'll write it down. Android: Brave(movies) + Ironfox, Search: Brave + DDG, VPN: Proton ( not always on), GPay = Cash, Auth= Aegis Auth, Pass: KeepassDX, PC: Firefox= Librewolf, VPN = No VPN (VERY slow internet), Search: Searxng + DDG, Pass: KeepassXC,

I switched to Nobara last spring from MX Linux (Debian) when my brand new GPU needed brand new mesa driver, but MX said it was months away from being added to the stable channel. Nobara is (or was, Dev has slowed down) bleeding edge for most things. I no longer need that, but I like it okay, and my setup... Look, I'm just Lazy when it comes to setting up all my games and apps I have installed all over again...

Hage you tried MX's AHS ISO?

I was running AHS at the time. I asked in the support forum about my GPU and they warned me against forcibly upgrading Mesa. They told me it would be months before they got to the required version (~~25.3?~~ 25.0.2), so I started distro shopping.

ETA: link to my post in MX support forum, fixed Mesa version

Did testing or deb-backports have a working version?

[–] s38b35M5@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

I think they mentioned that the (then) upcoming Trixie was running 25.0.1, but Phoronix listed the next version (25.0.2) as the first viable version. Either way, I figured if I was going to risk hosing my machine, I might as well just take a decent backup and try some of the distros I had been eyeballing.
