Mesa or Mesa 3D Graphics Library is an open-source graphics stack, a collection of open-source graphics drivers to bring support for the latest OpenGL and Vulkan technologies to Intel, AMD Radeon, and Nvidia graphics cards on Linux-based operating systems. While not yet ready for primetime, Mesa 17.3 is the latest and most advanced series of the graphics stack, bringing the Intel i965, RadeonSI, and Nouveau (nvc0) drivers closer to the OpenGL 4.6 specification and implementing support for multiple Vulkan extensions to both the Intel ANV and AMD Radeon RADV Vulkan drivers.
