Which GPU do you have? According to https://mesamatrix.net https://mesamatrix.net the radeonsi driver for GCN and RDNA cards supports OpenGL 4.6 (the latest), a

  Which given my hint about FXGLR doesn't do me much good. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-hd-6310-igp.c2286 https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-hd-6310-igp.c22... With fxglr, I enjoyed OpenGL 4.1, hardware video decoding, even though as you see from the specs, it can do more than that on Windows. With the wonderful open source driver, I get OpenGL 3.1 without hardware video acceleration.

    Do you mean fglrx? Regardless, the problem is nobody wants to spend development time supporting 10+ year old cards when there isn't enough time to support all the features on newer cards.

      Indeed, which proves the point that having FOSS drivers is just publicity if there isn't anyone willing to do the job. My laptop works perfectly fine, so the consequence is me switching to Windows, where Asus still keeps its DirectX 11 drivers for the laptop up to date for Windows 10, although the laptop was bought during Windows 7 days.

There's nothing stopping the device manufacturer from spending the time to support the device like they do on Windows, they just don't think it's worth it due to the smaller market share (which makes sense from a business perspective).
