Questions about mesa-2404 content snap and the opengl interface

I’ve noticed that not every snap with the OpenGL interface enabled uses mesa-2404. (By snap connections mesa-2404)

Therefore, I’d like to ask under what conditions mesa-2404 will be used automatically, and if possible,

how to get rid of it (because mesa-2404 updates very slowly, now its on mesa 24.2.8 version).

Mesa-2404 is primarily used by Snap apps that use the gnome or kde-neon-6 extension; it’s part of the plugs that are added automatically.

I don’t know if it’s recent enough for your use, but mesa-2404 in the beta channel is at version 25.0.7; you can use that version if you want.

Thanks for the explanation.

Do you know how to let the snap app use the mesa on the host machine?

I don’t know if you’re talking about using the native Mesa in Snap apps or the Snap Mesa in native apps, unfortunately I have no idea if something like that is possible.

As far as I remember, strictly confined Snap apps only use the dependencies that come with them or from other Snaps.
