Me: i'll enjoy an evening of games after updating

Fedora: nah, we pushed a broken Mesa update to everyone

This type of thing should not happen.

4 days into using Fedora to see this...

[gamingonlinux@mastodon.social]

Multiple issues were reported, and someone still pushed it through...

"I don’t consider closed source steam a reliable indicator of issues, it has no debug symbols" - the person that pushed the broken Mesa update out. Come on Fedora, this is not a good look 🙃

[anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz]

@gamingonlinux 100% agreed, a friend of mine went back to Mint with its ancient packages over this, and I can't even blame them

@fedora needs to see this before it turns into a PR issue

[anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz]

@gamingonlinux @fedora I should note though, you CAN try downgrading the package with something like `dnf downgrade mesa`, at least the repos have older versions available

@anthropy @fedora thankfully a reddit post pointed this out, so my evening was saved, but it's incredible this was allowed to be pushed by anyone with reported issues of it broken

@gamingonlinux I had a look and I can't actually find the quote you quoted - Did they remove it?

@gamingonlinux @anthropy @fedora

"Those reports probably come from a system that was configured in a weird and esoteric way, probably doesn't impact 'real users', we don't need to fix those. 🧐 "

🤣 #linux

(Just to be sure, this is meant as friendly banter, because I think it's ironic.)

@gamingonlinux it's like when they tried to kill 32 bit multilib because "you can just use the Steam flatpak instead" all over again 🙏

i'm glad i opened mastodon and saw this before updating lol
