From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah, I'm happy with it. It was a bit over my budget but I figured it was worth it. I also decided to go with an amd cpu instead of intel like I always had. And not regretting that either.
Are the mesa updates part of the driver or does one manually update them?
I think @heartsofwar gave a nice overview of what Mesa provides in relation to the driver in the kernel. So, amdgpu-driver updates come with a kernel update and mesa is it's own package for userspace (everything visual on your desktop, not just for games)
