[Stable Update] 2026-05-27 - Kernels, NVIDIA, Firefox, Thunderbird, Mesa, Blender

Hi! Thank you for the thread. When using Linux 6.1, the Mesa update

mesa 1:26.0.6-1 -> 1:26.1.1-2

is causing my Plasma session to lose all the animation effects and become clunky, eventually unreliable as the session goes on.

Those are the logs from journalctl:

kwin_wayland_wrapper[1620]: amdgpu: DRM version is 3.49.0, but this driver is only compatible with 3.54.0 (kernel 6.6+) or later.
kwin_wayland_wrapper[1620]: MESA: error: amdgpu: ac_query_gpu_info failed.

I’ve updated the kernel to 6.18 and everything is working fine now, I just don’t understand why the kernel update did not happen automatically.
