Collabora Blog: Goodbye Nouveau GL. Hello Zink!

Starting with Mesa 25.1, Nouveau users will no longer get the old Nouveau OpenGL driver by default and will instead get Zink+NVK. Unlike most OpenGL drivers which are written to target the underlying hardware directly, Zink is an OpenGL implementation written on top of Vulkan. Collabora has been talking about this for a while, but the MR has landed today.
