Message:

Update to mesa-22.1.0.

This version of mesa eliminates drivers for very old graphics cards.
It also uses the crocus driver for some Intel graphics. It
has been tested for nvidia, intel, and amd graphics.

The instructions have been simplified to let the package determine
the appropriate drivers needed for the current system.

    238         If you are using a NVIDIA GPU in your system, a special patch has been
    239         created that allows for proper multi-threading in the Mesa driver. This
    240         fixes issues with multi-threaded Qt applications, as well as with
    241         starting some GNOME Applications. This patch is also essential if you
