I’ve heard the new OS with the Mesa driver updates will bring significant performance increases but haven’t heard anything recently.

Anyone know of any news?

You can try it out. But apart from that everything runs on Valve time.

Shit, I guess we were lucky to get SteamOS 3 then!

It’s available to test out currently, but based on what I’ve read it’s still pretty buggy at the moment.

It will probably be at least a couple more months before it’s ready if I had to guess. They’re making pretty constant and regular improvements outside of that though.

What's the link to the repo?

To test it, just set your update channel to main.

You need to turn on developer settings before main appears in update channels FYI
