Introduction
Mesa is a big deal if you're running open source graphics drivers. It can be the difference between a smooth experience and an awful one. Mesa is under active development, and it sees constant noticeable performance improvements. That means it's really worthwhile to stay on top of the latest releases. Debian usually doesn't, though, so Debian users have to take matters into their own hands.- Details

Introduction
NodeJS is on the rise, big time. It's one of the top web development tools, and when paired with the Express framework, it's solid direct competition to the likes of PHP and Ruby on Rails. Debian provides NodeJS in its repositories, but it's usually extremely out-of-date. There's no need to worry. The NodeJS Foundation recommends a Debian repository hosted by a popular NodeJS hosting service.- Details

Lollypop is a GTK-based music player that's gaining in popularity. It features a simple and highly graphical interface that's visually appealing and integrates well with GTK-based desktop environments. Since Lollypop is relatively new and is under constant active development, it isn't available through Debian's repositories yet. The developers package and host an Ubuntu PPA, but it doesn't integrate well with Debian. So, the best option for installing and keeping Lollypop up-to-date on Debian is Flatpak.- Details
