KDE Snaps are broken, sorry lights out for now

/

All core22 KDE snaps are broken. There is not an easy fix. We have used kde-neon repos since inception and haven’t had issues until now. libEGL fatal: DRI driver not from this Mesa build (‘23.2.1-1ubuntu3.1~22.04.3’ vs ‘23.2.1-1ubuntu3.1~22.04.2’) Apparently Jammy had a mesa update? Option 1: Rebuild our entire stack without neon repos ( fails due to dependencies not in Jammy, would require tracking down all of these and build from source ) Option 2: Finish the transition to core24 ( This is an enormous task and will take some time still ) Either option will take more time and effort than I have. I need to be job hunting as I have run out of resources to pay my bills. My internet/phone will be cut off in days. I am beyond stressed out and getting snippy with folks, for that I apologize. If someone wants to sponsor the above work then please donate to https://gofund.me/fe30793b otherwise I am stepping away to rethink life and my defunct career. I am truly sorry everyone.

I have been unable to find work as I cannot drive with my broken arm and no one will hire a one armed software engineer! As you can see I am still quite capable, so if you know anyone that will give me a chance, please contact me! Any help is appreciated, donations will go to internet costs, food, medical expenses, and gas to continued doctor/hospital visits. Thank you! https://gofund.me/d5d59582
