Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

[oibaf]

This explains certain issues in performance.

I don't understand what you mean, can you clarify?
The compilation issue was anyway fixed days ago, as you can see from the linked bug and on the PPA.
If you have a performance issue I suggest to report it here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/new

Is there a way to revert drivers back to a certain date? For example, say I wanted to install the PPA drivers (for INTEL) from the first week of March 2020 for BIONIC. Is there a mechanism to do that?

I don't know a way to use older packages.

Why is there an updated version of Network-manager in your PPA?!

I backported it from focal to fix an annoying bug.

Thanks, could you please explain this bug?

OpenVPN NM plugin opening tens of windows asking password when not using the system and then the NM applet crashing. The backport fixed it.

Could you take a look at this issue? https://github.com/flightlessmango/M...ment-581179195

I don't see an issue, some header files changed packages due to libglvnd improvements. Newer Debian and Ubuntu also have this change.

If by any chance you have a bit spare time with nothing to do, I would appreciate it if you might look into backporting xorg-xserver 1.20.8, as currently xwayland is broken for me due to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/2731. It has been packaged for 20.04 already (in proposed).

Done. You may also want to upgrade to focal.

Thank you very much. You are, of course, right about upgrading.
