Enabling Mesa in backports by default for future releases

[adam-tj]

Hey, I was wondering if you would consider enabling Mesa backports (similarly to how the kernel is being handled) by default in future releases? There was recently a large update and I think it would benefit users who prefer gaming on a stable OS.

Hi there, thanks for the suggestion. Could you please list the name of the specific package(s) that would need to be switched to the Backports version?

This is the reddit comment I followed. One of the packages there were mispelled so I had to figure it out manually. Here is my /etc/apt.d/prefereces.d/99backports which other than the Mesa packages is unmodified from the default Spiral install. You would maybe want to double check this yourself but this is what's currently working for me.
