Blender Developers Find Old Linux Drivers Are Better Maintained Than Windows

'To not a lot of surprise compared to the world of proprietary
graphics drivers on Windows where once the support is retired the
driver releases stop, old open-source Linux OpenGL drivers are found
to be better maintained. From a report:

Blender developers working on shipping Blender 2.80 this July as the
big update to this open-source 3D modeling software today rolled out
the Linux GPU requirements for this next release. The requirements
themselves aren't too surprising and cover NVIDIA GPUs released in the
last ten years, AMD GCN for best support, and Intel Haswell graphics
or newer. In the case of NVIDIA graphics they tend to do a good job
maintaining their legacy driver branches. With the AMD Radeon and
Intel graphics, Blender developers acknowledge older hardware may work
better on Linux. '
