From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Even if the users were using a kernel tree that isn't even in Linus' tree yet in addition to bleeding-edge Mesa, you still shouldn't be using nor recommending this.

From the article:

It will take a long time before we get the bugs worked out and get a full feature set with reasonable performance.

We are not, however, yet to the point where you can run an arbitrary app and expect it to work properly.

However, right now there are enough missing features and known issues that a lot of apps won't work and we already know that. Please don't file "XYZ game doesn't play" issues just yet.

This is a large step forward but nowhere near usable for the wider Linux gamer audience yet and that's just the Vulkan driver.

Other parts of Nouveau aren't too great either and there is still no re-clocking support. Your iGPU is likely faster than any card with NVK right now.
