memeing, trolling or just uninformed?

Mesa has a much more bigger problem than it's bugs: LLVM bugs.

mesa developers are incompetent. My desktop shows that mesa drivers uses 3.0 opengl, chromium browser and firefox show the same info. The troll is you.

You should state what hardware you have and give "glxinfo -B" output. Otherwise, you are just complaining for the sake of complaining and your post is unproductive. Most likely, you are looking at the compatibility context version and you don't understand the difference between OpenGL core and compatibility contexts.

... sometimes is better to let people think you are a moron, than type something and remove the doubt completely.

Why attack him? I want Mesa to support compatibility OpenGL 4.6 too. There are some use cases, including some games, that need it. I hope sometime in the future developers will have some free time to tackle it.

Why attack devs and call them incompetent? If he was talking about compatibility context, he should have specified that. While there are some games/apps that could benefit from >3.0, I doubt it's a big priority. In other words, it's probably lack of interest and not "incompetence" that keeps Mesa compat at 3.x

Note: Marek Olsak (sp?) from AMD has started to work on advancing compatibility past 3.0 (Mesa 18.1 is up to 3.1 according to Phoronix).
