How to install the latest Linux Kernel, Mesa, Intel/AMD GPU drivers, and Xorg.. on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS?

On Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, how to get:



  • Linux Kernel: 5.0 or newer.

  • Mesa Library: 19.0 or newer.

  • Intel Graphics Driver: ...? (latest)

  • AMD Graphics Driver: ...? (latest)

  • Xorg: ...? (latest)


I have two machines, one with a GPU from Intel, the other from AMD.


Another way to ask this question would be: how to optimize gaming (e.g. Steam) and make the most out of newish-hardware, specifically on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS?
