AppImages not working on non-NixOS

Help
1

I installed two apps packaged as “AppImages” and on top of that I gather they are “Electron” apps:

My home.nix:

  home.packages = [
    [...]
    pkgs.remnote
    pkgs.nuclear
    [...]
  ];

And they are indeed installed:

❯ home-manager packages | grep -e nuclear -e remnote
remnote-1.7.6
nuclear-v0.6.6

But neither of them start:

~/.config/nixpkgs 
❯ remnote
[7:0100/000000.790675:ERROR:zygote_linux.cc(607)] Zygote could not fork: process_type gpu-process numfds 4 child_pid -1
[7:0100/000000.790824:ERROR:zygote_linux.cc(639)] write: Broken pipe (32)

~/.config/nixpkgs 
❯ nixGLNvidia remnote

~/.config/nixpkgs 
❯ nuclear

~/.config/nixpkgs took 2s 
❯ nixGLNvidia nuclear

How can I run these apps?

I did not setup my home.nix properly. If you have this issue make sure you properly follow the wiki.
