I have an i5-6500 but unfortunately it's in my office, where I can't reach now
(because of the stupid COVID).

I searched mesa repo and nothing useful is found. Someone suggests that xf86-
video-intel is "bad" and should not be used for iGPUs later than year 2006.
Maybe it's guilty.

Since 19.x (used MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=iris, in 19.x i965 was the
default). With mesa-20.0.0 some applications crash occasionally, but fixed with
20.0.1. On 20.0.1-20.0.5 everything seems fine.
So I think we should report the issue to
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues, and revert the change for
now.
