Yeah, I’m not sure how up-to-date my knowledge is, but opengl and the like are exceptions to the usual deterministic handling of dependencies on non-NixOS distros (not because it is unable to do so, I think it is mainly to avoid storing everything n-times with nvidia/amd), and one has to specify them. It was quite a time I ran nix on a non-nixos distro but there is this tool https://github.com/guibou/nixGL that meant to solve the issue of graphical programs.

nixGL works without issue on my laptop's Ubuntu install, and the project also includes an equivalent wrapper for Vulkan rather than OpenGL.
