Bug Description

Mesa 21.0.0 will be released soon, and we still want it in 21.04. It's been in Debian experimental since rc1. The packaging also migrates it to use llvm 12.

The risks involve graphical issues or even crashes when running more intense OpenGL/Vulkan apps like games. Running a desktop is a simple use-case and should work fine across the board. Upstream gitlab has a fairly extensive CI for various drivers, while Intel tests on their own CI. This means that any showstoppers should be shaken out already.

We will be able to pull maybe two point-releases before hirsute is frozen, and then push more as an SRU.

I've tested 21.0.0-rc's on Intel and AMD (RX 5700) and the latter too with some games, all good.

packages for hirsute are available on ppa:canonical-x/x-staging

Note that migrating to llvm 12 can be done later, and use llvm 11 for now until 12.0 is released (is at rc3 now).

ACK, go for it (with 11 for now, I agree that switching to an RC compiler feels dodgy)
