Hi. I just updated my system from 24.05 to 24.11 using the below commands:
sudo nix-channel --add https://channels.nixos.org/nixos-24.11 nixos
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade
sudo nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-24.11.tar.gz home-manager
sudo nix-channel --update
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade
There was a few warning while I was upgrading like renamings and etc. so I updated my configuration and rebuilt for one more time. I rebooted my system a few times after upgrading. I use Hyprland primarily but same issues happen on GNOME too. I have an NVIDIA GPU and Intel CPU:
unitythemaker@blazingfast ~> nix-shell -p vulkan-tools
[nix-shell:~]$ vkcube --gpu_number 0
Selected GPU 0: Intel(R) UHD Graphics (TGL GT1), type: IntegratedGpu
[nix-shell:~]$ vkcube --gpu_number 1
Selected GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU, type: DiscreteGpu
[nix-shell:~]$ vkcube --gpu_number 2
Selected GPU 2: llvmpipe (LLVM 18.1.8, 256 bits), type: Cpu
[nix-shell:~]$ vkcube --gpu_number 3
GPU 3 specified is not present, GPU count = 3
Specified GPU number is not present
Now I am facing issues with some applications. I will just provide the output of them:
pavucontrol

Extra notes:
- uncommenting
#environment.sessionVariables.GSK_RENDERER = "opengl";line makes pavucontrol work but not zed-editor. - vkcube works without any issues as you can see above.
