  • At this point in the debian release cycle your easiest course of action would probably be to switch over to debian testing. It’s quite easy to do if you’re in debian 12 and wanting newer packages is a legit reason to do it. It should be getting reasonably close to being stable by now I would guess.

    You’ll need a newer kernel than is currently in debian stable as well, but that is actually quite easy to build and install. Building mesa I don’t know about, but it will have many more dependencies and could be a lot of work.






  • Telemetry can be turned off without modifying the code. I don’t know about the legality of it, maybe in the case of Firefox the other things they do are also at most build options rather than code changes. But generally distros are allowed to make changes to the packages they distribute, that is how free software works.
