I recently upgraded my 2011 Macbook Pro running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with a standard 'sudo apt update & upgrade'. While the upgrade went smoothly, I've noticed that my game graphics have become very laggy, making it hard to enjoy games like Luanti (a Minecraft clone) and Studio (a Lego building app running through Wine). I suspect the issue might be related to graphics drivers, as I observed updates in the packages related to that in my /var/log/apt/history.log. Is there an easy way to roll back these package updates, or has anyone faced similar issues and found a solution?

Have you tried running it on version 25.10? As for downgrading, it’s not quite as straightforward in Ubuntu compared to something like Arch Linux which has an archive for that. Without a snapshot or something similar, rolling back can be tricky.
If you’ve set up Timeshift, it can help you restore to an earlier state, but if you didn’t, it looks like downgrading packages might be more tedious. For downgrading a specific package, you can use 'sudo apt install package=version'. If you need to downgrade several at once, you can chain them like 'sudo apt install package1=version package2=version'. Just keep in mind it might not resolve the issue if it’s a broader driver problem.
