Discord clients freezing while loading

Help
1

Hello,
on my newest NixOS installation, I tried installing vesktop and equibop (a vesktop fork with some extra features)
the problem I have, is that I cannot use them. They launch but they just freeze before loading anything.
Is there something I need to do with my graphic settings? Or does anybody have the same issue?

Vesktop v1.5.8

Thanks for any help

Ok. ChatGPT found the answer now. I need to set the environment variable ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT to “x11” so that They start using x11 and xwayland and not using normal wayland.

3

FWIW, I’m not running into this issue on GNOME on nixos-unstable.

It might be something with your wayland compositor, but using xwayland is a good workaround. Does this happen with other electron applications that should run on wayland?

4

I am using Niri at the moment as my wm. I think steam is also an electron app and works perfect.
The only problem I still have with both discord clients is that they do not load messages. I think eventually I just install flatpak and install them whith that.
Do you have your nix config on github? Or do you know someone with gnome who has? Then I could look if there are some default settings like drivers which are not set because I installed it without DE first.

Now I got it to work perfectly, I just switched from nixpkgs-25.05 to nixpkgs-unstable (I also switched from niri to hyprland so I do not know if there also was a problem with niri)
