All desktop drivers are close to OpenGL 4.3

It also needs llvm with 2 non mainline patches. Or are they mainline now? I haven't kept up.

By the way, this ad popped up three times in a row when I tried to write this comment: https://i.imgur.com/N2dvKIc.png

One very advanced patch is missing for 4.2: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archiv...il/112547.html :-)

It would be not surprising if Radeon ( and possibly others ) get full GL 4.5 this calendar year. Combined with Vulkan and Linux will become very adequate desktop OS.

Phoronix: AMD RadeonSI Gallium3D Is Now Incredibly Close To OpenGL 4.3!

What an exciting afternoon for open-source AMD Linux fans! OpenGL 4.3's robust buffer access extension landed for RadeonSI and now two more extensions have landed. Now there are no more extensions left for RadeonSI hitting OpenGL 4.2 and the OpenGL 4.3 support is deadly close...
