- mesa-core22 (gets installed by default) which ships the mesa libs and userspace drivers. You can use it to use different (or newer) mesa stacks on a userspace level by following a different channel of the snap. Currently 2023-11-21 on all channels is 23.0.4; note the core22 related gnome-42-2204 snap ships Mesa 23.0.4-0ubuntu1~22.04.1 which is probably similar/the same(?).
- nvidia-core22 ships a kernel driver (and probably some libs too that use this driver) that is related to the pc-kernel snap that runs on UbuntuCore systems. AFAIU you need this if you do have a nvidia graphics card, but no full desktop environment (e.g. a kiosk or a compute application/OS). From a desktop system, the host nvidia libraries should be loaded via dbus.
- another/your own implementation of the interface. One could use this to ship their own drivers.
I push weekly builds using the same revision as the other test builds to channel 'beta' on the 'latest' track (probably tuesday to thursday).
The current official release is available at the channel 'stable' instead
There may be more recent builds at unpredictable times at channel 'latest/edge'.
Get it from the Snap Store!
edit1: info about weekly builds going to --beta, releases to --stable and the intenteded use of the --edge channel for inbetween builds
edit2: use freeorion name instead of freeorion-agrrr3 ; remove last revision 2019-01-14.076fc4b
edit3: add url https://snapcraft.io/freeorion
edit4: add snap store badge, some rewrite
edit5: add information about graphics drivers
