Describe the bug

My PC was using the unstable channel for a while now. I have not updated the channel locally for about two-three months. I now switched to the stable 24.11. Since this switch, the LACT application fails to start. There is already an issue and a temporary solution in their repo. It seems like the issue occurs because the application is being rendered using vulkan, instead of OpenGL.

Has there been a distro-wide change or is just this application rendered using Vulkan?
The source of the LACT nix package mentions vulkan, but my understanding of the nix language is not good enough to make sense of how vulkan is used.

Steps To Reproduce

Run lact in the terminal:

2024-12-02T20:43:21.885666Z  INFO lact_client::connection::unix: connecting to service at "/var/run/lactd.sock"
Gdk-Message: 21:43:21.885: Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display.

Run GSK_RENDERER=opengl lact gui - application starts
