Thanks! That’s reassuring … kind-of.

I’m running Xubuntu, 22.04.3 LTS.

I think I already have Mesa 23:

$ glxinfo | grep Mesa  
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI  
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 23.0.4-0ubuntu1~22.04.1  
OpenGL version string: 4.5 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 23.0.4-0ubuntu1~22.04.1  
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.2 Mesa 23.0.4-0ubuntu1~22.04.1

Kernel is 5.15.0-94-generic but there seems to be a recipe for installing 6.5.

Don’t plan on trying that until EVE launcher finishes downloading its 4+ gigs.
