I'm using sudo ppa-purge ppa:paulo-miguel-dias/pkppa

I tried aborting the first deletion and accepting the second, but that didn't get me too far it seems. Now ppa-purge says that the PPA is removed, but my Mesa version is still 13.0.2 - padoka PPA and the original issue is not fixed (and, skype and steam won't start so need to reinstall those, at the least..)

EDIT again:
Well, I solved this by upgrading to the bleeding edge PPA. Everything seems okay now (no screen tearing as there was before when I tried the PPA) so I guess everything is awesome again. Although it would would be nice to know how to downgrade if there's ever need..

Hum, maybe there is something with the Mint packages not being completely compatible with the Ubuntu ones. Tried the same command you posted (I'm also using Padoka's stable PPA) and it was okay in a Kubuntu 16.10 install.

Concerning newest mesa just working for gaming, I would strongly recommend you to switch to a distro which is NOT based on Debian/unbuntu - any other - OR compile mesa-git/llvm-svn your self.

BTW on my distro it's all in AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=mesa-git [External Link] and I use it with package manager yaourt (pacman+AUR). You can even add a signed repo with precompiled llvm-svn.

Running mesa 13.1-dev/amdgpu/CIK/opengl4.5. stable as always, but newest version.

Quoting: wojtek88Good information have to say. First for over 5 days. Previous one was the fact that F1 2015 was released. Both good news come from Feral. I have to ask - what happens with other porters? What happens with Virtual Programming? What happens with Aspyr? Do those companies still work on porting games to Linux? It is super silent about them...
