Gimme the fresh stuff!
`apt install -t trixie-backports linux-image-amd64 mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-utils firmware-linux firmware-linux-nonfree`

Or for those, whom like to go all in
`apt upgrade -t trixie-backports`

#debian #backports #mesa #gaming #kernel #linux

Wow! The newer Mesa (and Kernel?) improves Raytracing performance significantly! With Mesa 25.0 and Kernel 6.12 it felt bit laggy and sluggish. With the backports (Mesa 25.2, Kernel 6.17) it's way more snappier and "direct".

for more fine grained control I give you

which is mostly about pinning which packages to take from what repositories
