I read somewhere that Panfrost implements OpenGL 2.1 in addition to GLES2. Is this not the case?
In short - for Qt and Plasma you will want es2 for best performance.
There is indeed OpenGL 2.1 functionality exposed in Panfrost. Not sure about the extent or if it is actively tested against. Desktop GL functionality is an extra from whatever the devs can enable. It's incredibly impressive and in some situations (games) it can be faster. But KDE isn't one of those instances.
