An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro

[xmixahlx]

A bunch of mesa/gl packages updated in Bullseye today, and everything is back to "normal".

There's a crash when you push Fn + F1, F2.... F12

I can't repro this.

I'm on Sid with mesa from experimental, not seeing any crashes. Though for now OpenGL compositing in KWin is unusable, have to fall back to XRender.

What's up with gparted?
It never renders right, eventually crashing the graphical session - X11 and Wayland.

Works fine for me on KDE Plasma:

About mesa updates, etc. - if you install packages from experimental AFAIK you'd need to pin experimental archive to priority 100 to ensure APT will be installing updates from it, as by default its priority is set to 1 and will install packages from there only when explicitly asked. In my case I didn't get any mesa updates (that were upgraded in experimental from 20.0-git to 20.0-rc1) until I pinned experimental to 100. If you don't know what APT pinning is read `man apt_preferences`.

your description of apt pinning is exactly correct.

experimental is default 1 priority out of 1000

installed packages are 100

default release is 500

conveniently, a combination  -1 and 1001 will purge packages and reinstate release if you have i.e. cherry picked from experimental and regret that decision, etc.

I pin experimental to 2 just to KNOW that all my configs work in policy.

unless you are on unstable it is usually a bad idea to pull from experimental, although some folks have a different take on risk and happiness than I do.

in almost every "risk" case it is cleaner and more functional to install to /usr/local from packages or upstream/git.
