Hey all,
Not so much seeking support, just wanted to get some opinions and feedback. I’ve been running cachy for a while now and was using the standard stable mesa drivers since install. I recently did some reading and discovered it may be beneficial to use the mesa-git drivers since I am using newer hardware (300 series cpu and external 9070xt). I went ahead and installed mesa-git seemingly fine, but haven’t had much time to test (plan to do so more over the weekend after work). My general setup is for gaming, so I was hoping the possible change to “bleeding edge” drivers might make a difference. What are others’ experiences between the two? Did I make a correct choice based on my hardware? I understand git is development and could cause some bugs because it’s not as reliable as the stable, but just wanted to hear some input from the community. Thanks in advance!
