Installing mesa-git dev channel (cutting edge) for open public test, to provide informations to the dev team.

[unk0wn-u53r]

I am on the latest Unstable branch of ChimeraOS and
I want to install the latest Mesa-Git from the developer channel (v25.2 = https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mesa-git).
But I'm afraid to install it with 'yay -S' from the AUR repository.
Is this possible, or should I wait until the ChimeraOS developers provide an internal update process in the unstable ChimeraOS branch?

Thank you to all users for your effort and support <3

Note: I've tried every SteamOS fork, from the official Valve repository to CachyOS and Bazzite, but none of this installations worked on my GMKtec K8 mini PC*. Problem: I always get a black screen after the initialization process, when the installer has fully loaded, or after installing the operating system (I can hear the audio and USB, etc.). Only ChimeraOS working stable out of the box, but also with the unstable branch 🥇

I would wait. Installing your own drivers goes against the immutable nature of ChimeraOS. There are also patches to mesa that might be needed for some features to work.

Okay, I also heard that other users with an APU especially with the Radeon 780M and newer have problems with the latest RADV, some flickering (Freesync not properly working).
That's very important for me, also it's better to wait for the stable release candidate.

Thank you for providing your decision (:

The 780M is the same iGPU on the ally, right? It's a long time since I ever saw a problem on the ally. Also, these problems you mention are on mesa-git, right?
